Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease with various clinical symptoms, commonly including nasal congestion, runny nose, and reduced sense of smell. In terms of treatment, oral medications and nasal sprays are commonly used, generally for about 1 to 2 weeks. The specific duration should be determined based on the treatment results and severity of the condition. If the effect of medication alone is not satisfactory, saline nasal irrigation can also be considered as a supportive treatment. However, chronic rhinitis is still difficult to cure completely and can recur. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can people with chronic rhinitis swim?

People with chronic rhinitis can swim, but it is advisable to refrain from swimming during an acute flare-up. If it's just ordinary chronic rhinitis without noticeable acute inflammation, swimming is possible and may even be somewhat beneficial for rhinitis. However, attention should be paid to the cleanliness and hygiene of the swimming pool. If the pool is not up to hygiene standards, water entering the nasal passages can exacerbate existing rhinitis or trigger an acute flare-up. Therefore, this is a point of concern. If it's just ordinary chronic rhinitis and the pool meets swimming standards, swimming should be fine and not particularly harmful to either rhinitis or overall health.

What to do with chronic rhinitis headaches?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common ENT disease with various clinical symptoms, the most common of which are nasal congestion, runny nose, and reduced sense of smell. Some patients may experience headaches. In such cases, it is necessary to visit an ENT department. Examinations like a sinus CT and head CT can be conducted to inspect the nasal cavity, sinuses, and to check for any intracranial lesions. If the issue is simply an inflammatory reaction, medication treatment can be chosen. Common treatments include oral medications and nasal sprays, and the nasal cavity can be rinsed with saline solution. During the treatment process, regular follow-up visits are necessary to monitor recovery, and most patients can recover smoothly within about a week. (Please use medication under the guidance of a doctor.)

Can chronic rhinitis be completely cured?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease with numerous clinical symptoms. Common symptoms include nasal congestion, reduced sense of smell, headache, dizziness, and sometimes nasal discharge may contain blood. In terms of treatment, oral medications and nasal sprays are commonly used, along with saline nasal irrigation. However, it is currently difficult to achieve a complete cure, and there are cases of recurrent attacks. Generally, during stable periods of the disease, regular check-ups are the main approach. If there is an acute attack of chronic rhinitis, targeted medication treatment should be considered. In daily life, saline nasal irrigation can be used, and it is advisable to avoid colds and refrain from eating spicy and irritating foods.

How to completely cure chronic pharyngitis and rhinitis?

Chronic pharyngitis and chronic rhinitis are both relatively common otolaryngological diseases. In terms of treatment, the use of oral medications and nasal sprays is common. Some patients can also use saline solution to rinse the nasal cavity, but currently, there is no particularly effective way to completely cure these conditions. The main treatment strategy is to control the condition and alleviate symptoms, reducing the likelihood of acute outbreaks, but they cannot be completely cured and may recur. However, overall, chronic pharyngitis and rhinitis do not pose a significant threat to overall health or life safety.

Is medication effective for chronic rhinitis?

Most patients with chronic rhinitis find oral medications somewhat effective, but the specific effects and outcomes can vary from person to person. Some may experience good results, while others may find the effects not particularly satisfactory and may need to consider using nasal sprays or saline nasal irrigations. The main function is to improve nasal ventilation, alleviate nasal inflammation, and reduce or dilute nasal secretions. Overall, the primary approach to managing chronic rhinitis is controlling and alleviating the condition, as neither medical nor surgical treatments can cure it completely. The main strategy is regular check-ups, avoiding colds, avoiding irritants, and monitoring to control and relieve symptoms. (Please use medications under the guidance of a professional physician and do not medicate blindly.)
