Is rhinitis a chronic disease

summary

My roommate has always had rhinitis. Every morning I got up and had to sneeze several times. I went to the hospital and used a lot of medicine, but it didn't work. The doctor said that if I wanted to cure it, I had to have an operation. However, my roommate didn't have an operation. Now let's talk about rhinitis as a chronic disease.

Is rhinitis a chronic disease

First: rhinitis is divided into acute and chronic rhinitis, these two kinds of rhinitis are classified from the degree of deterioration of the disease, of course, chronic rhinitis is a chronic disease. Chronic rhinitis is chronic inflammation of nasal mucosa and submucosa. Its main characteristics are inflammation lasting for more than three months or repeated attacks, protracted, intermittent period can not return to normal, and no clear pathogenic microorganisms, accompanied by varying degrees of nasal congestion, increased secretion, nasal mucosa swelling or thickening and other obstacles. According to the degree of pathology and dysfunction of chronic rhinitis, it can be divided into chronic simple rhinitis and chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. The former is chronic inflammation of nasal mucosa characterized by swelling of nasal mucosa and increased secretion, while the latter is chronic inflammation of nasal cavity characterized by limited or diffuse hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucosa, submucosa and even bone.

Second: local glucocorticoid nasal spray can play a strong anti-inflammatory and anti edema effect in all 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.

Third: chronic rhinitis can also be treated by surgery, inferior turbinectomy through surgery to remove part of the inferior turbinate, so that turbinate tissue smaller, can reduce nasal resistance, improve the state of nasal ventilation. 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.
