Chronic rhinitis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and submucosa that requires treatment with vasoconstrictors, glucocorticoid nasal sprays, proprietary Chinese medicines, and nasal rinses. It is generally divided into chronic simple rhinitis and chronic hypertrophic rhinitis.
Long-term inflammation of the surface of the nasal mucosa leads to congestion, hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the nasal mucosa, which triggers the production of intermittent or persistent nasal congestion, mucous nasal discharge, decreased sense of smell, headache and other symptoms. Therapeutic drugs are as follows:
1. Vasoconstrictor: 0.5-1% ephedrine solution and other nasal spotting to improve the symptoms of nasal congestion, usually not more than 7 days, so as not to trigger the risk of drug rhinitis.
2. Glucocorticoid drug therapy, such as mometasone furoate nasal spray, fluticasone propionate nasal spray, etc., to control the inflammation of the nasal mucosa to achieve swelling treatment.
3. Some long-term chronic rhinitis may be treated with proprietary Chinese medicines, such as Tongkong Rhinitis Granules and Nasal Abundance and Tongkong Granules, which can be used for the treatment of chronic rhinitis.
4. Nasal irrigation: use physiological seawater to wash the nasal cavity, to promote the removal of inflammatory tissue from the surface of the nasal mucosa.
Drugs must be applied under the guidance of a doctor. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis drug treatment is ineffective, can consider surgical treatment. General submucosal hypothermic plasma ablation of the inferior turbinate; submucosal osteotomy of the inferior turbinate, etc..
