How is chronic rhinitis treated?

Topical glucocorticoid nasal spray can play a strong anti-inflammatory and anti edema effect at various stages of inflammation, and can promote the repair of damaged ciliated epithelium. It is currently a first-line treatment for inflammatory diseases of nasal mucosa. For patients with "pregnancy rhinitis", they should not use blood reducing agents and local caution with corticosteroid nasal spray. The symptoms of rhinitis will be relieved within 2~4 weeks after termination of pregnancy.

Inferior turbinectomy can reduce nasal resistance and improve nasal ventilation by removing part of inferior turbinate. The dilation and contraction of inferior turbinate blood vessels cause great changes in nasal resistance. The front end of inferior turbinate is close to the nasal valve area (the part with the greatest nasal resistance). Therefore, attention should be paid to keeping the front end of inferior turbinate properly during inferior turbinate surgery to avoid side effects.

Decongestant can only be used in chronic rhinitis with acute infection, 1-2 times per day, and the general application time should not exceed 7-10 days. Long term use of such drugs can cause drug-induced rhinitis. Children can use low concentration of these drugs for a short time.

matters needing attention

1. Quit smoking alcohol, pay attention to diet and environmental hygiene, avoid long-term stimulation of dust. 2. Avoid long-term use of nasal decongestants, which may cause "drug-induced rhinitis". 3. Active treatment of acute rhinitis, in case of cold nasal congestion aggravation, can not force pick the nose, so as to avoid causing nasal infection.
