If chronic rhinitis is simply hypertrophic or atrophic, these types of rhinitis generally allow for the consumption of eggs without much hindrance. However, if the chronic rhinitis is triggered by allergic factors, then if the patient is allergic to eggs, they must not consume eggs. Even if not allergic to eggs, given that eggs are a food containing large molecular proteins which can easily trigger other allergies, their consumption should be limited. In summary, aside from allergic diseases, other types of chronic rhinitis do not restrict the consumption of eggs.

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.)

How to completely cure chronic pharyngitis and rhinitis?

Chronic pharyngitis and chronic rhinitis are both relatively common otolaryngological diseases. In terms of treatment, the use of oral medications and nasal sprays is common. Some patients can also use saline solution to rinse the nasal cavity, but currently, there is no particularly effective way to completely cure these conditions. The main treatment strategy is to control the condition and alleviate symptoms, reducing the likelihood of acute outbreaks, but they cannot be completely cured and may recur. However, overall, chronic pharyngitis and rhinitis do not pose a significant threat to overall health or life safety.

Can chronic rhinitis be completely cured?

The radical cure for chronic rhinitis mainly involves identifying the cause. For chronic simple rhinitis, it's important to avoid irritating the nasal cavity and to maintain an appropriate temperature and humidity. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis can be treated with some systemic medications and traditional Chinese medicine. Surgical treatment can be considered if the nasal turbinates are enlarged.

Can chronic rhinitis be treated with surgery?

Some cases of chronic rhinitis can be treated surgically, but overall, surgery is not the first choice for treating rhinitis. For most patients with chronic rhinitis, conservative treatment is generally preferred, which may include oral medications, sprays, and consistent nasal cleansing. Generally, through these standard conservative treatments, most patients can experience significant control and relief of their rhinitis. If standard conservative drug treatments are ineffective, and there is significant turbinate hypertrophy affecting normal nasal ventilation, surgery can be considered. Currently, minimally invasive surgeries under endoscopy are primarily used. Overall, these surgeries are not highly traumatic and can effectively improve symptoms. However, it is difficult to guarantee a complete cure, whether through medication or surgery.

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.)
