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.)

What symptoms does chronic rhinitis have?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease and is part of the chronic disease category. It has numerous clinical symptoms, with the more common ones being nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Some patients may also experience bloody nasal discharge, headaches, dizziness, reduced sense of smell, and memory decline. A few patients might snore during sleep due to poor nasal ventilation. In terms of treatment, most patients primarily receive pharmacological therapy, commonly using nasal sprays and oral medications. For a small number of patients who do not respond well to conservative medication treatment, surgical intervention might be considered.

Can people with chronic rhinitis keep cats?

Patients with chronic rhinitis should avoid keeping pets, especially cats, as cats carry many parasites and bacteria and also shed hair. The nasal passages of patients with chronic rhinitis are very sensitive. Once hair enters the nasal cavity, it can cause sudden congestion and swelling of the bilateral nasal conchae mucosa, leading to symptoms of sneezing, runny nose, and persistent bilateral nasal congestion, thus further aggravating the clinical manifestations of the condition. In terms of treatment, patients with chronic rhinitis should first adhere to a bland diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods. They also need to combine treatment with nebulized inhalation and use corticosteroids to reduce congestion and swelling of the nasal conchae mucosa, to decrease nasal secretions and relieve symptoms of nasal congestion. Additionally, patients should exercise to restore the function of the nasal conchae mucosa, which can gradually lead to improvement. (Specific medication should be administered under the guidance of a physician.)

Can people with chronic rhinitis donate blood?

Patients with chronic rhinitis can donate blood. Overall, chronic rhinitis primarily causes inflammation of the nasal mucosa or inferior turbinates, and it does not greatly affect overall health, mainly presenting with localized symptoms in the nose such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Generally, it does not directly impact the blood. Before donating blood, it is possible to conduct some related blood tests to check for other diseases. If the criteria are met, one can normally donate blood. Therefore, there are no contraindications for blood donation in patients with chronic rhinitis, as long as they meet the requirements. Moreover, donating blood to a certain extent is actually beneficial for health.

What foods to eat for chronic rhinitis?

People with chronic rhinitis should pay attention to their diet in daily life, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, as well as chilled beverages. They should also quit bad habits such as smoking and drinking, as these may lead to inflammation and congestion in the throat and nasal mucosa, triggering symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. The onset of chronic rhinitis is associated with long-term smoking, drinking, excessive fatigue, and physical and chemical stimuli. In treatment, corticosteroid nasal sprays can be used to improve congestion and edema in the nasal mucosa. Additionally, wearing a mask when going out can help avoid inhaling too much cold air, which can worsen symptoms. (The use of medications should be under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
