Can chronic rhinitis be cured?
Chronic rhinitis is curable. It results from the protraction of acute rhinitis or its recurrent flare-ups, leading to nasal symptoms. It causes bilateral nasal congestion which alternately changes. Nasal blockage is lighter during physical activities in the day and becomes worse at night when quiet. Additionally, the nasal passages may produce mucous secretions, and when accompanied by bacterial infections, yellow purulent secretions can occur. Upon examination, both sides of the nasal conchae mucosa can be found congested, edematous, hypertrophic, and thickened. In treating chronic rhinitis, nebulized inhalation therapy can first be used to alleviate local congestion and edema. At the same time, regular physical exercise is necessary to enhance immunity and restore the function of the nasal conchae mucosa, which can gradually improve the rhinitis. However, if chronic rhinitis recurrently flares up and conservative treatment is ineffective, local surgical removal might be needed. Removing part of the inferior turbinate can cure the condition.
