Chronic rhinitis and chronic pharyngitis are chronic inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, which can be caused by either prolonged acute inflammation that has not healed or by various inappropriate chronic stimulations. Generally, patients with chronic rhinitis and chronic pharyngitis can eat chicken, which is clear. However, if the patient has allergic factors, such as an allergic constitution specifically allergic to chicken, then chicken should not be eaten. Regarding the consumption of chicken in the context of these chronic inflammations, it is important to consider appropriate cooking methods; it should be light. Spicy and stimulating cooking methods are not suitable for patients with chronic rhinitis and chronic pharyngitis. All in all, under normal circumstances, patients with chronic rhinitis and chronic pharyngitis can consume chicken, but in special cases, caution is necessary.

What symptoms does chronic rhinitis have?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease and is part of the chronic disease category. It has numerous clinical symptoms, with the more common ones being nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Some patients may also experience bloody nasal discharge, headaches, dizziness, reduced sense of smell, and memory decline. A few patients might snore during sleep due to poor nasal ventilation. In terms of treatment, most patients primarily receive pharmacological therapy, commonly using nasal sprays and oral medications. For a small number of patients who do not respond well to conservative medication treatment, surgical intervention might be considered. (Specific medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a doctor.)

What to do during a chronic rhinitis attack?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngological disease. An acute exacerbation of chronic rhinitis may lead to related clinical symptoms, which often include nasal congestion, runny nose, headache, dizziness, and reduced sense of smell. Some patients may experience nasal discharge flowing backward. After the onset of symptoms, it is advisable to visit an otolaryngology department. Routine blood tests and nasal endoscopy can be performed to help initially assess the severity of the condition. Generally, nasal spray medications can be chosen for treatment, and some patients may also need to combine this with oral medications. Additionally, rinsing the nasal cavity with saline solution can also serve as a supportive treatment. The treatment period generally lasts about one to two weeks, and regular follow-up visits are needed to monitor the treatment effect.

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.)

Can people with chronic rhinitis eat eggs?

If chronic rhinitis is simply hypertrophic or atrophic, these types of rhinitis generally allow for the consumption of eggs without much hindrance. However, if the chronic rhinitis is triggered by allergic factors, then if the patient is allergic to eggs, they must not consume eggs. Even if not allergic to eggs, given that eggs are a food containing large molecular proteins which can easily trigger other allergies, their consumption should be limited. In summary, aside from allergic diseases, other types of chronic rhinitis do not restrict the consumption of eggs.

How long does one generally take medicine for chronic rhinitis?

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.)
