Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease with various clinical symptoms, commonly including nasal congestion, runny nose, and reduced sense of smell. In terms of treatment, oral medications and nasal sprays are commonly used, generally for about 1 to 2 weeks. The specific duration should be determined based on the treatment results and severity of the condition. If the effect of medication alone is not satisfactory, saline nasal irrigation can also be considered as a supportive treatment. However, chronic rhinitis is still difficult to cure completely and can recur. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can chronic rhinitis be completely cured?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common ENT disease with a high incidence among the population. Currently, treatment primarily focuses on controlling the condition and alleviating symptoms, and it is difficult to cure. Generally, it starts with a nasopharyngoscopy to assess the severity of the rhinitis. A sinus CT scan can also be performed to check for sinusitis. Oral medications are generally considered, and it is advisable to use them in conjunction with nasal sprays. During treatment, regular follow-ups are necessary, and nasal irrigation with saline can be used. Most patients generally stabilize within one to two weeks with standardized medication treatment. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

How to normally regulate chronic rhinitis?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngologic disease that requires attention in daily life. First, in terms of diet, it should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods and allergenic foods, which may affect the condition of rhinitis. Second, consider using saline or physiological seawater to rinse the nasal cavity, generally recommended to wash two to three times daily. This helps improve nasal ventilation and reduce the retention of nasal secretions. Third, it is necessary to regularly visit the otolaryngology outpatient department to check the changes in the condition and clarify the treatment effects. (Medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a professional doctor.)

Is medication effective for chronic rhinitis?

Most patients with chronic rhinitis find oral medications somewhat effective, but the specific effects and outcomes can vary from person to person. Some may experience good results, while others may find the effects not particularly satisfactory and may need to consider using nasal sprays or saline nasal irrigations. The main function is to improve nasal ventilation, alleviate nasal inflammation, and reduce or dilute nasal secretions. Overall, the primary approach to managing chronic rhinitis is controlling and alleviating the condition, as neither medical nor surgical treatments can cure it completely. The main strategy is regular check-ups, avoiding colds, avoiding irritants, and monitoring to control and relieve symptoms. (Please use medications under the guidance of a professional physician and do not medicate blindly.)
