What are the Chinese patent medicines for treating rhinitis caused by wind and cold?

Patients with rhinitis usually have symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose and headache. Although rhinitis is not a serious life-threatening disease, it seriously affects the patient's normal life. When it comes to wind-cold rhinitis, many people may not know much about it. In fact, fundamentally speaking, rhinitis is divided into wind-cold rhinitis and wind-heat rhinitis, which are not much different. What is more important for patients with rhinitis is an effective treatment method.

1. Symptoms of wind-cold rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis occurs when exposed to cold, with symptoms including frequent sneezing, clear nasal discharge, nasal congestion, aversion to cold, slight fever, cough with white sputum, and a floating and tight pulse.

2. Causes of Wind-Cold Rhinitis

1. Acute rhinitis develops into chronic rhinitis due to repeated attacks or incomplete treatment.

2. Due to long-term stimulation or deformity of adjacent chronic inflammation, the nose becomes poorly ventilated or drainage is blocked, such as chronic sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, chronic tonsillitis or adenoids hypertrophy.

3. Improper use of nasal medication or excessive use for too long can cause drug-induced rhinitis, which is common after long-term use of nasal drops.

4. Systemic causes include chronic diseases, such as endocrine disorders, long-term constipation, kidney disease and cardiovascular disease; vitamin deficiency, such as vitamin A or C; excessive smoking and drinking can affect the vasoconstriction of the nasal mucosa and cause disorders; long-term use of antihypertensive drugs such as reserpine can cause nasal vasodilation and produce symptoms similar to rhinitis.

5. Other environmental factors: For those who work in environments with cement, tobacco, coal dust, flour or chemicals, the nasal mucosa is stimulated and damaged by physical and chemical factors, which can cause chronic rhinitis. Workers in environments where the temperature and humidity change rapidly, such as steelmaking, refrigeration, and melting workshops, are also more likely to develop this disease. ?
