As spring blossoms, many across the Chinese mainland find themselves battling the familiar symptoms of seasonal allergies. In the latest episode of Health Talk, Dr. Wang Xueyan from Beijing Shijitan Hospital’s Allergy Center shares insights into a challenge that affects over 300 million people in the region.
Pan, who has struggled with pollen allergic rhinitis for more than 10 years, describes his discomfort in vivid terms, saying he sometimes felt like he wanted to "dig out" his eyeballs just to wash away the irritation! 😣
To tackle these symptoms, Pan turned to desensitization treatment—a method that gradually introduces small doses of pollen allergens to help the immune system build tolerance. This innovative approach, along with deep dives into allergy categories, diagnostic techniques, and even a peek into the microscopic world of pollen, offers a fresh perspective on allergy relief.
Whether you're a health enthusiast, a student, or simply curious about how to navigate spring allergies, Health Talk delivers engaging, easy-to-understand insights that help you breathe easier this season. Stay informed and embrace a healthier spring!
