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.)

How long should medicine be taken for chronic rhinitis?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common ENT disorder with a high incidence among the population. In terms of treatment, if the inflammatory reaction is mild and there are no obvious clinical symptoms, it can generally be considered to periodically re-examine without the immediate use of medication. However, if the condition of chronic rhinitis is severe and accompanied by symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and reduced sense of smell, targeted treatment should be considered. It is advisable to undergo nasopharyngoscopy and sinus CT scans to assess the severity of the condition. Most patients can consider oral medication treatments. In addition, nasal spray medications can be used in combination. During treatment, regular follow-ups are necessary to observe the effects, and the treatment period is generally about one to two weeks. (Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)

Symptoms of chronic rhinitis with bleeding

Chronic rhinitis accompanied by bleeding is a common clinical manifestation in otolaryngology. The causes of the symptoms mentioned primarily relate to damage to the nasal mucosa and rupture of capillaries due to inflammation, leading to bleeding. When experiencing nasal bleeding, patients should first apply a cold towel or ice pack to the affected nostril to constrict the capillaries, which can reduce or stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is severe, it can be controlled by packing the nostril with gauze or using petroleum jelly. In daily life, it is important to avoid getting chilled, picking the nose, and the onset of colds and other related symptoms, to prevent exacerbation of chronic rhinitis and further nasal bleeding.

Can chronic rhinitis cause coughing?

Chronic rhinitis has a variety of symptoms. Some patients may experience coughing, which is mainly caused by the backflow of nasal discharge irritating the throat. Other common symptoms include nasal congestion, runny nose, reduced sense of smell, as well as possible headache and blood-tinged nasal mucus. After the condition of chronic rhinitis appears, it is necessary to visit an otolaryngology clinic. Diagnostic steps can include nasopharyngoscopy and routine blood tests, which help to clarify the specific severity of the condition. Some patients may also need a sinus CT scan to determine the presence of any sinus pathology. Once the condition is diagnosed, targeted treatment can be administered, commonly involving oral medications and nasal sprays. Regular follow-up is needed to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment.

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.)
