Symptoms of chronic rhinitis

Whether you are a student or a working adult, if you suffer from rhinitis, it means that your life will change from now on, especially for patients with chronic rhinitis. Because the disease has been lingering and there is no truly effective treatment in clinical practice, chronic rhinitis has always been a disease that endangers people's health. So, what are the symptoms of chronic rhinitis?

In fact, chronic rhinitis is generally caused by people not actively seeking treatment when they have a cold. Chronic rhinitis is divided into three categories according to its different manifestations. When understanding the symptoms of chronic rhinitis, we must understand it in detail based on these three categories.

(A) Symptoms of chronic simple rhinitis:

1. Intermittent or alternating nasal congestion;

2. The sense of smell may be impaired, but not serious; the speech may have a nasal tone, but it is not very obvious;

3. Excessive nasal discharge: It is usually mucous or mucopurulent, occasionally purulent, and often occurs after secondary infection.

(II) Symptoms of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis:

1. Persistent nasal congestion and progressive nasal congestion: Persistent nasal congestion refers to the presence of nasal congestion on both sides for a considerable period of time, which may be light or severe at times but rarely unobstructed; progressive nasal congestion refers to the nasal congestion becoming increasingly severe over a period of several months or more than a year.

2. Accompanied by a small amount of nasal mucus, which is mostly sticky, white or slightly yellow.

3. It is often accompanied by obvious loss of smell, obvious nasal speech, or headache.

(III) Symptoms of chronic dry rhinitis:

The nose becomes dry, nasal secretions decrease, and there is an itchy and burning sensation, which often induces the patient to pick his nose and cause a small amount of nosebleeds. The sense of smell is generally not reduced.

This is all I have to say about the symptoms of different types of chronic rhinitis. No matter what type of chronic rhinitis you have, it is recommended that you seek timely treatment. You should know that if chronic rhinitis is not treated for a long time, it may turn into cancer. Therefore, it is recommended that all patients with chronic rhinitis take the disease seriously.
