PHYSICIANS' TREATMENT for Hay FeverCategory: Respiratory Diseases 1. The following gives relief from the distressing symptoms. (But first the nose should be examined, for often there is local trouble there.). Then give suprarenal extract tablets, each five grains. Take one every four or five hours. 2. Pill Blennostasin. Each pill contains five grains. Take one every four hours. 3. The following solution gives temporary relief:-- Dionin 10 grains Adrenalin (1 to 1000) 5 drams Water 2 ounces Mix solution and spray into the nose every two hours. 4. After using the above spray which will shrink the mucous membrane apply the following oil spray:-- Thymol 5 grains Menthol 5 grains Camphor 5 grains Liquid Alboline 1 ounce Mix and make a solution and spray into the nose three or four times a day. 5. In some cases a drying powder does well, such as compound stearate of zinc and alum one dram; puff it into the nose with a powder-blower every hour. 6. Dr. Ball of London, England, gives the following. A spray of a four per cent of cocaine, or direct application of cotton-wool soaked in a stronger solution will be found to afford immediate relief. But the after effect is likely to be bad. Hence menthol is a better application. 7. Another from Dr. Ball. A one to five per cent solution of menthol in liquid paraffin may be painted or sprayed on the mucous membrane, or a little cotton-wool soaked in an oily solution may be inserted in the nostrils. We must confess our weakness as physicians, when we treat this disease. There are local measures, such as give relief for the time being, but they must be carefully used. Diseases of the nose, tumors or "spurs" frequently cause in the first place; bad tonsils, and adenoids are likely to aggravate the trouble. A change of climate is the only real help. Tone the general health. If the patient is very nervous fifteen grains of bromide of sodium three or four time a day gives relief. People subjected to hay fever should be treated between the attacks to make them strong and to remove any local nose trouble and just before the time of year arrives for the attack it is well to take five grains three times a day of the suprarenal tablets or blennostasin the same way, and also spray the nose twice daily with a mild adrenalin solution as the following:- Adrenalin (1 to 1000) 1 dram Water 2 ounces Change of climate is frequently quite beneficial. Some are relieved in the dry mountain air, while others are more benefited by the seashore or an ocean trip. Next: TUMOR OF THE NOSE. (Nasal Polypus) Previous: HAY FEVER. (Rose Cold, June Cold or Hay Asthma)
