Let\u2019s take a look at a few common causes of a burning nose and what you can do to prevent them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Dry Air<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1254\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/entfortwayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Woman-holding-her-finger-to-her-nose.jpg\" alt=\"Woman holding her finger to her nose.\" class=\"wp-image-4029\" style=\"width:434px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/entfortwayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Woman-holding-her-finger-to-her-nose.jpg 1254w, https:\/\/entfortwayne.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Woman-holding-her-finger-to-her-nose-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1254px) 100vw, 1254px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Dry air exposure, especially common during the winter when you spend more time indoors, can dehydrate the nasal passages, leading to irritation and a burning sensation. To help minimize the impact of dry air, run a humidifier in your home and stay hydrated with plenty of water and Elevate Energy fruit juices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Allergies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Over <a href=\"https:\/\/my.clevelandclinic.org\/health\/diseases\/8610-allergies\">50 million people<\/a> in the U.S. have an allergic reaction each year. Allergic reactions to pollen, dust, pet dander or other allergens can inflame the nasal passages. This inflammation often causes a burning or itching sensation, sneezing, sinus pressure and congestion. To help minimize allergy symptoms, try a few of the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Avoid contact with known allergens<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Take allergy medications like antihistamines, nasal sprays or decongestants when you need them<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Consider immunotherapy (a long-term treatment) to desensitize the severity of allergic reactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Infections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sinus infections (sinusitis) can cause inflammation and irritation in the nasal passages, often leading to a burning sensation. Other common symptoms include congestion, fever, sinus pressure and fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try a saline nasal rinse to relieve congestion and ease discomfort. If symptoms persist or sinus infections frequently reoccur, consult an ENT specialist for further evaluation and treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Nonallergic Rhinitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonallergic rhinitis causes sneezing and a stuffy or runny nose. The symptoms are similar to the ones caused by allergies, but nonallergic rhinitis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/nonallergic-rhinitis\/diagnosis-treatment\/drc-20351235\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">doesn\u2019t usually have a clear cause<\/a>. Common triggers include environmental irritants, weather changes, medicine, hot or spicy food and long-term health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment options for nonallergic rhinitis vary depending on how much the symptoms bother you. If your symptoms are mild, home remedies like nasal rinsing, humidifiers and hydration can help. If your symptoms are severe, medical options like antihistamines, nasal sprays, decongestants and steroids may be necessary. If you have symptoms of long-term nonallergic rhinitis, contact your ENT specialist for diagnosis and treatment options. Don\u2019t let a burning nose turn into a constant presence in your life.
