Acute rhinitis, also known as cold, is mostly caused by virus infection and sometimes mixed with bacterial infection. Patients often have symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose, decreased sense of smell and headache. For the treatment of acute rhinitis, first of all, oral antiviral drugs, such as antiviral oral liquid, vitamin C Yinqiao tablets and so on. If complicated with bacterial infection, oral antibiotics, such as amoxicillin, clavulanate potassium, cefuroxime, etc. , should take symptomatic treatment; If the symptoms of nasal congestion are obvious, you can use nasal congestion relieving drugs such as furosemide nasal drops or ephedrine nasal drops to relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion. If it is chronic simple rhinitis, the patient's nasal congestion is often intermittent, and there will be symptoms such as runny nose, decreased sense of smell and headache. The treatment plan is basically the same as acute rhinitis. If the symptoms of nasal congestion are obvious, intranasal corticosteroid sprays, such as triamcinolone acetonide nasal spray and budesonide nasal spray, can be used. In patients with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, nasal congestion is often persistent, and the use of the above drugs can not alleviate the symptoms. Surgery is needed in most cases. Surgical methods mainly include inferior turbinate ablation, partial inferior turbinectomy and middle turbinate ablation.
Acute rhinitis can be recovered within one week after active and effective treatment. The treatment of chronic rhinitis takes a relatively long time, and the effect varies from person to person. When medication can't be improved, surgery can be considered. Rhinitis can be divided into acute rhinitis and chronic rhinitis. 1. For acute rhinitis, it is often accompanied by a cold, usually characterized by stuffy nose, sneezing and runny nose. Treatment can be oral cold capsules. If complicated with bacterial infection, oral antibiotics are needed. 2. Chronic rhinitis can be divided into allergic rhinitis, chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis and atrophic rhinitis. And the treatment of different types of rhinitis is different. For example, allergic rhinitis can be treated by oral antiallergic drugs and topical application of hormones and antihistamines; For atrophic rhinitis, we should strengthen nutrition, apply physiological seawater and menthol nasal drops to improve nasal mucosa dryness.
