Allergic rhinitis, runny nose, sneezing
symptom
After the Obon festival ends and the peak of the heat subsides, I inevitably suffer from symptoms such as a runny nose and sneezing. Two or three years ago, I visited an ENT specialist and was diagnosed with allergic rhinitis, and it has been customary for me to rely on allergy medication at this time of year. This year, however, the medication is not working as well as before and is not relieving my symptoms completely. I was wondering whether I should go to the doctor again when I was contacted for advice because a family member of mine is a patient at our clinic.

Treatment and progress
There was severe tension in the side of the neck, and noticeable coldness in the lower body.
Therefore, we focused on these aspects and performed the treatment accordingly.
When acupuncture was applied to the relevant pressure points on the hands and feet, the nasal passages cleared up immediately, and the lower limbs also warmed up.
During the treatment period, the patient continued to take their medication as before, with appointments once a week. At the third appointment, the dosage was reduced to half a tablet, and at the fourth and fifth appointments, no symptoms appeared even without medication, so we decided to monitor their condition.
Acupressure points used
Summary
The patient had a strong feeling of heat in the neck and cold feet, indicating a state of flushing.
The key to this case was relieving tension in the neck and abdomen and restoring the body's thermal balance.
