Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa, which can be divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis, and chronic rhinitis is divided into chronic simple rhinitis and chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. Acute rhinitis and chronic simple rhinitis can be recovered by medication; in the case of chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, most of them require surgery.
Acute rhinitis, also known as cold, is mostly caused by viral infections, sometimes mixed with bacterial infections, and patients often suffer from nasal congestion, runny nose, decreased sense of smell, headache and other symptoms. For the treatment of acute rhinitis, the first step is to take oral antiviral medications, such as antiviral oral solution and vitamin C silver warp tablets, etc. If there is a mixture of bacterial infection, oral antibiotics, such as amoxicillin clavulanate potassium and cefuroxime, should be taken to treat the symptoms. In the case of chronic simple rhinitis, the nasal congestion is often alternating and intermittent, and symptoms such as runny nose, decreased sense of smell and headache may also occur, and the treatment plan is basically the same as that for acute rhinitis. If the symptoms of nasal congestion are obvious, intranasal glucocorticoid sprays, such as tretinoin nasal spray and budesonide nasal spray, can be used. In patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, the nasal congestion is often persistent, and the symptoms are often not relieved by the above mentioned medications, and in most cases, surgical treatment is required.
Acute rhinitis can be recovered in a week with active and effective treatment. In chronic rhinitis, the treatment takes longer and the effect varies from person to person. If medication does not improve, surgery can be considered. (For specific medication, please combine with the clinical, subject to the guidance of the doctor’s interview)
