Do you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs for rhinitis?

Most types of rhinitis do not require the use of anti-inflammatory drugs. The reason is that anti-inflammatory drugs are very effective against bacterial infections, while most rhinitis is caused by hypertrophy of the nasal mucosa and allergic factors, resulting in mucosal edema. If there is a large amount of yellow pus nasal discharge and gradually increasing nasal congestion, you can use antimicrobials appropriately, with cephalosporins and roxithromycin having the best effect. If it is obstructive rhinitis, you can first use glucocorticoid-like nasal spray and insist on using the medicine for about a month. Since it acts directly on the mucosal surface of the nasal cavity, it does not produce systemic side effects and can be used with confidence. In case of unsatisfactory treatment with medication, surgical treatment is required. If it is caused by allergy, the use of nasal spray combined with short-term anti-allergy drugs can effectively control the symptoms.
