Rhinitis can cause coughing, mainly due to coughing symptoms caused by secretions or crusts that leak down from the nasopharynx during rhinitis and irritate the pharynx. The cause of cough can be acute or chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc.
During acute or chronic rhinitis or allergic rhinitis, poor ventilation, poor drainage and more secretions in the nasal cavity can cause secretions to irritate the pharynx through the nasopharynx and cause coughing. The symptoms will be improved with the addition of some Chinese medicine for rhinitis, such as Huo Gall Pills, Xiang Ju Capsules, Qian Bai Rhinitis Tablets, etc. Such cases are common in clinical practice. In the case of atrophic rhinitis, there are more dry crusts in the nasal cavity, so nasal irrigation is needed, and nasal drops such as compound peppermint oil, paraffin oil, and clear cod liver oil are used to lubricate the mucosa, promote blood circulation in the mucosa, and soften the dry crusts for easy blowing.
In conclusion, rhinitis can cause coughing. In general, when rhinitis with cough is encountered, both rhinitis and cough need to be treated at the same time. It is best if you can go to the hospital for diagnosis before treating the symptoms.
