Description

Apparatus for curing rhinitis using LED}

The present invention relates to a rhinitis treatment device using an LED, and more particularly, to a rhinitis treatment device using an LED for treating rhinitis by irradiating the nose of a patient with a specific wavelength of light from the LED.

 In general, the cause of allergic rhinitis is a house dust mite, pollen, mold, the inhalation of the respiratory organs such as pet hair and dandruff, cockroach debris, but allergic rhinitis can also be caused by food and food additives.

In allergic rhinitis treatment, symptomatic treatment is the most important and the best treatment and preventive treatment to find and avoid the substance causing allergic reaction, antipyretics, vasoconstrictor and antihistamine corticosteroids. Etc.

However, these treatment methods are easy and convenient to use, but there are concerns about side effects due to frequent use and misuse, and in some cases, they may cause drug rhinitis when used for more than 5 days, so special care of the user is required. .

With this in mind, a more advanced technique has been to introduce saline or drugs directly into the affected nose.

Purchasing a tubular stretchable container containing a therapeutic agent such as saline, benzetonium chloride, or alcohol and compressing it in the nose, the particulate therapeutic agent is sprayed directly into the affected area of the nasal cavity to express the effect of washing and treating the affected area. It is supposed to be.

However, this method can consume too much medicine every time, especially the foreign body in the affected part of the nose can irritate the nose in the form of a direct injection of a liquid drug that can cause another nasal disease and relatively nasal disease Many children and the elderly are avoiding use.

In addition, infrared treatment devices equipped with halogen lamps and treatment devices using low power laser diodes have emerged.

The infrared therapeutic apparatus is to emit the far infrared wavelength and heat from the halogen lamp to the affected area to increase the coagulation and sterilization effect of the blood to express a therapeutic effect.

However, the halogen lamp is expensive and large in size, and there are problems such as cell damage due to environmental inconvenience and harmful wavelengths due to heat rise due to heat generation.

The low power laser diode can penetrate deeply into the affected part due to the characteristics of the laser light, and the predetermined wavelength generated from the laser diode intensively stimulates the affected tissue, thereby providing an immediate therapeutic effect.

However, the laser diode intensively stimulating the affected tissue as described above, there is a problem that the nose is damaged due to severe stimulation when used for a long time.

Accordingly, the present invention is to solve the above disadvantages and problems of the prior art, by maximizing the effect of rhinitis treatment by selectively or simultaneously irradiating a wavelength range that is most suitable for rhinitis treatment using a plurality of LEDs. In addition, the purpose of use and wearing method is to provide a rhinitis treatment device using a simple LED.

One aspect of the present invention to achieve the above technical problem provides a rhinitis treatment device using the LED.
