To treat rhinitis, we must first make clear the types of rhinitis, including acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, dry rhinitis and atrophic rhinitis. Acute rhinitis, that is, a cold, can be treated by oral medication. Chronic rhinitis can be divided into chronic simple rhinitis and chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. Chronic simple rhinitis is mainly treated by Chinese patent medicine, while chronic hypertrophic rhinitis can be treated by minimally invasive treatment or surgery. For allergic rhinitis, oral antiallergic drugs and topical corticosteroids can be used to avoid contact with allergens. Dry rhinitis is generally treated locally to keep the nasal cavity moist. Atrophic rhinitis can be treated by taking vitamins orally, washing the nasal cavity with normal saline locally, and then dropping mint nasal drops. Therefore, to treat rhinitis, it is recommended to go to the otolaryngology department for further examination and symptomatic treatment. There are many kinds of rhinitis, some of which are easy to treat and some of which are difficult to treat. Acute rhinitis is generally easy to cure. Anti-inflammatory drugs can be used, nasal cavity can be washed with physiological seawater, nasal hormone can be sprayed, or a small amount of vasoconstrictor and ephedrine can be used.
Chronic rhinitis with chronic simple rhinitis is also better treated. According to the situation, if the symptoms are not serious, you can wash the nasal cavity with physiological seawater or spray hormones with some Chinese patent medicines. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis has serious symptoms, and the drug treatment effect is not good, so it can be treated surgically. Dry atrophic rhinitis can be washed with physiological seawater, dripped with some oily lubricants and taken orally with vitamin preparations. Some allergic rhinitis is not easy to cure, and there are specific allergens, such as house dust mite and dermatophagoides farinae allergy, which can be desensitized and hopefully cured. Most other allergens are allergic, and desensitization preparations are still in the research and development stage.
