The treatment of rhinitis mainly includes general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment, etc., which should be selected according to its clinical classification, but the specific efficacy varies from person to person, and it is impossible to assert how to treat the fastest and most effective.
1. Acute rhinitis: ① general treatment: such as attention to rest, light diet; ② drug treatment: commonly used antiviral drugs (such as interferon), antipyretic and analgesic drugs (such as acetaminophen).
2. Chronic rhinitis: including allergic and non-allergic rhinitis, the latter is divided into vasomotor, atrophic, dry rhinitis and other types.
(1) allergic rhinitis, that is, allergic rhinitis: ① general treatment: avoid contact with allergens; ② drug therapy: commonly used antihistamines (such as loratadine), leukotriene receptor antagonists (such as montelukast), etc.; ③ immune therapy: the main use of desensitization; ④ surgical treatment: such as the pterygoid nerve selective excision, etc., is only used in some of the patients who do not have a good effect of conservative treatment.
(2) Non-allergic rhinitis: ① drug treatment: commonly used glucocorticosteroids (e.g. budesonide), decongestants (e.g. ephedrine); ② surgical treatment: such as partial excision of the mucosa of the inferior turbinate, anterior nostril closure surgery. The choice depends on the type of rhinitis and symptoms.
However, it should be noted that the specific efficacy of the above methods may vary depending on the individual’s physical condition and the severity of the disease, and there is no so-called “most effective and fastest” treatment for all patients. Therefore, those who have been diagnosed with rhinitis must undergo individualized treatment under the guidance of a doctor, and should not use medication on their own.
