Symptoms of rhinitis

The symptoms of rhinitis can be divided into many types. After the onset of rhinitis, patients will often have a runny nose, feel uncomfortable in the nose, and have problems with breathing. These include simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, and many types of rhinitis. Therefore, in normal times, we must find the right method of treatment and diagnosis according to the type of disease to avoid worsening of the disease in the later stage.

Basic Definition

Rhinitis is commonly known as rhinitis. If it develops into hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the nasal mucosa and nasal turbinates of chronic rhinitis, it will develop into sinusitis if not treated in time.

The main symptoms of rhinitis, such as nasal congestion and runny nose, can be treated symptomatically, such as using oral medications. Of course, the medication varies according to the different types of rhinitis. Allergic rhinitis requires anti-allergic treatment, such as astemizole and chlorpheniramine. General chronic rhinitis can take anti-inflammatory drugs. Atrophic rhinitis requires taking vitamin medication. If nasal congestion is severe, local nasal drops can be used at the same time to relieve the symptoms of rhinitis. If conditions permit, it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine to treat rhinitis. The specific method of treating rhinitis needs to be decided by the otolaryngologist based on the actual situation. If drug treatment is not effective and there is nasal obstruction caused by turbinate hypertrophy, surgical treatment, laser or microwave treatment can be considered.
