In the capital city in spring, the sun is shining brightly and everything is flourishing.
However, the spring scenery all over the city has made countless citizens complain and feel annoyed.
Just because, inside and outside the city, there are flying willow catkins like white snow everywhere. People in the streets and alleys are all wearing masks. Even so, there are countless white catkins flying into their eyes and noses, and even more on their bodies. There are white hairs everywhere.
"A sneeze!" "A sneeze!" "A sneeze!"
Shu Xin sneezed and trotted back to the community. She was wearing a mask, glasses, and a hat, and her whole body was wrapped tightly. This was not enough for her, and she wanted to wrap herself in a layer of insulation to isolate the inside and outside. In plastic wrap.
The sneezing didn't stop until she got home. She endured the discomfort of tears and mucus spurting out, and shook the white lint all over her body outside the door, then took off her mask and walked in the house.
"Ah sneeze!"
Another earth-shattering sneeze, and in an instant, her tears and snot spurted out along with her saliva.
"Ah~" Shu Xin was so uncomfortable that she couldn't help but cry out. She threw herself on the sofa and wiped it with a tissue for a while before she recovered.
For a patient with allergic rhinitis all year round, April and May every year are her most difficult days.
It's not that she's fine in normal times, but she's been miserable all year round, and she can still survive by taking medicine. But when spring comes, catkins are flying all over the city, digging into her at every opportunity, which makes it especially sad. .
The symptoms have been particularly severe in the past two months. The nasal discharge has been flowing like an open faucet, and I have to use a pack of tissues every day, which is extremely miserable.
No matter where I go during the day, I have to have tissues in my pocket. My nose starts to get stuffy as soon as I lie down at night, and I often wake up in the middle of the night. My entire daily routine is greatly affected.
The most frightening thing is that the anti-allergic drugs that usually work are no longer effective at this time.
She went to the hospital to check for allergens and found nothing, and the doctor was helpless and could only prescribe some spray to give her some relief.
Shu Xin was half lying on the sofa, swallowing to clear her nose, feeling a little less uncomfortable.
She turned on her phone and browsed the news online.
Coincidentally, it is not just the people in the capital who are suffering from the catkins flying.
In several cities in southern China, the masses are also constantly complaining about those little furry guys.
They go straight into people's nostrils with the spring breeze, and then they sneeze one after another, endlessly.
There are willow catkins in the north and sycamore catkins in the south. These white fluffs scattered by the wind have caused misery to all the citizens.
The topic about willow catkins and sycamore catkins on the Internet quickly reached the C position of everyone's attention and topped the trending searches.
People left messages and complained.
"This thing is so annoying, I can't keep my eyes open every day when I go out."
"My face was red, swollen and itchy, which seriously affected my life."
"You have to wear a mask when you go out and wash your face immediately when you get home. It's so inconvenient. This is not what spring should be like."
"If it floats into the neck, it will itch. If it floats into the nose, it will choke. At this time, the respiratory tract will be very uncomfortable."
"Please give me a city without white hair. I don't want to suffer this kind of magic attack every year anymore."
“Why can’t the city government cut down all these trees and replace them with other species?”
"It is too unrealistic to cut down trees. Everyone knows how poor the greening of the capital is. Willow trees were the main contributors to greening in the past. We must not just cut them down."
"You're right, don't say it next time!"
"I went there. Someone in the community thought there were too many catkins, so he lit a fire. Then he burned the green belt as well, and he was taken away. It was said that he had committed arson. It's so outrageous."
Shu Xin couldn't help but roll her eyes as she watched the shocking news reports about catkins causing fires.
If it weren't for setting fires against the law, she would have wanted to join in and not only burn the catkins, but also the willow trees.
"Ah sneeze!"
After sneezing again, she was already beyond hope.
At this moment, Longtu app suddenly pushed a message.
"Good news, Sanqing has developed a new anti-allergic drug, which is currently undergoing phase III clinical trials. Patients with allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, contact dermatitis, eczema, etc. are welcome to apply to participate..."
Shu Xin's eyes lit up, and she sat up suddenly. She immediately felt liquid flowing in her nasal cavity, and immediately lay back down.
She sniffed and quickly opened the notification.
After browsing it carefully and understanding how to operate, I clicked on the application link.
Since she had already uploaded her medical records, she quickly registered successfully and made an appointment at a cooperative hospital in Beijing.
"Yeah!" She waved her fists in excitement.
On the weekend, she came to the hospital early and there was already a long queue outside the waiting room.
After waiting for a while, it was finally her turn.
The doctor checked carefully and confirmed the condition. After signing the agreement, he happily gave the medicine and handed over a glass of warm water.
"Just come once a week, take warm water and cooperate with us to complete the examination."
Shu Xin looked at the pill in her hand and was stunned.
"Doctor, my allergies are really serious. Is this pill not enough? In fact, I can come here every day to take medicine."
The doctor smiled slightly and explained: "Sanqing is a long-acting sustained-release drug. One tablet is a tube for one week. You can try it first. If the symptoms are really not relieved, we will consider other doses."
Shu Xin felt relieved, picked up the water glass, and swallowed the pills.
Then she went for relevant examinations under the leadership of the nurse sister.
Strange to say, before she took the medicine, the left side of her nose on both sides of her nose was blocked, the right side was wet and itchy, and she always felt like she wanted to sneeze.
As soon as she took the medicine, she took out a tissue from her pocket, held it in her hand, and waited for the sneeze to come.
Unexpectedly, until the examination was completed, there was no sign of the sneeze.
She opened her mouth and was surprised to find that the blocked nasal cavity on the left side had been cleared.
I reached out and picked my nose. Both nasal cavities were very dry, and the mucus disappeared.
"This effect is too fast, it only takes a few minutes!" She nodded secretly: "It is indeed Sanqing's new medicine. The effect is very good, but I don't know how long it will last."
This state lasted until she got home. Although she was wearing a mask, she didn't sneeze again all the way.
The long-lost dryness in her nose always reminded her that she was now a normal person.
"Wow! That's awesome. This medicine is very effective. I will definitely buy it when it comes on the market." At this time, Shu Xin felt like she had been reborn.
That night, the nasal congestion did not appear again. She slept until dawn and was no longer woken up in the middle of the night.
In the next few days, everything became extremely normal, so normal that she completely forgot about the existence of rhinitis.
Just like that, she never sneezed again.
The damn allergic rhinitis that had tortured her for several years disappeared so quietly without leaving any trace.
Like a scumbag ex who suddenly disappears without saying goodbye.
Slowly get used to it and won't miss it anymore.
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and she came to the hospital again.
The doctor smiled: "How is it? Does catkin still have a big impact on you?"
Shu Xin nodded in surprise: "The effect is great, my rhinitis is completely cured."
The doctor shook his head: "Your allergy has not disappeared, it is just blocked by the drug. If you stop taking the drug, it will still relapse. But by the time your clinical trial is completed, the catkin season in Beijing has passed. You can eat Just order other allergy medicine.”
Shu Xin was a little disappointed: "But I want to take this medicine. I have to take other medicines every day, and the symptoms are only relieved, but not completely gone. I will still sneeze all the time, but the congestion and runny nose are not that serious." "
"Then you have to wait. This drug is not on the market yet. It will be prescribed to you when it is on the market."
Shu Xin nodded: "It's okay, I just need to survive the two months of Catkin Season."
"By the way, doctor, your accent sounds like you're from the South, right?"
"Yes, I am from Ningcheng."
"I heard that in Ningcheng, the sycamore catkins are also very serious in the spring. So, which one is more uncomfortable, the sycamore catkins or the willow catkins?"
The smile on the doctor's face froze, as if he thought of something bad, and it took him a while to say a word.
"No matter what, I suggest you not to get close to Feixu, it will make people uncomfortable."
