According to Beijing Satellite TV's "Yangshengtang", damp-heat rhinitis is mostly caused by cold after a cold or failure to completely cure it, leading to allergic rhinitis. When it is cold, it is characterized by stuffy nose, runny nose and sneezing.

Because its basic constitution is damp-heat, it is necessary to choose yang-warming drugs to treat its rhinitis, and at the same time, it can be combined with heat-clearing and dampness-removing drugs to eliminate damp-heat for patients, and it is not possible to blindly aggravate damp-heat. Damp-heat can also lead to sinus, so choose heat-clearing and detoxicating drugs for treatment.
