Patient: Description of the condition (onset time, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): Hello, Dr. Zhang. I have been suffering from rhinitis for 2 or 3 months, and my main symptoms are dry nose, sometimes bleeding when I blow my nose, more nasal stools, and stuffy nose at night. In February, I went to Shanghai Hospital of Five Gases and was diagnosed with rhinitis. After 2 weeks, the rhinitis started to get worse again, and now I am continuing to take the compound dahurica rhinitis. Now both ears hurt sometimes and there is a stuffy feeling in the right ear. At the first visit to the Five Gap Hospital, the doctor prescribed 2 boxes of the compound dahurica rhinitis punch, which I took for 2 weeks. After eating it, I felt that it was very effective, so I didn’t continue to eat it. But after 2 weeks, the rhinitis started to get worse again, accompanied by headache and stuffy ears. I went back to the hospital and was prescribed 3 weeks’ worth of medication this time. How long do I have to take the compound dahurica rhinitis granules before I can stop? I’m not sure if it will affect my gastrointestinal function if I continue to take this medicine. Thank you for your answer. Doctor: The treatment of chronic rhinitis should be formulated according to your specific symptom performance. Medication for chronic rhinitis can improve symptoms such as nasal congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa, and the main treatment drugs are nasal steroid hormones, nasal mucosal contraction agents, and proprietary Chinese medicines, etc. You already have symptoms such as ear congestion, and you still need to actively treat chronic rhinitis. You can switch to other medications to continue treatment. Patient: Thank you Dr. Zhang for your answer. I will go to the hospital tomorrow.
