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.

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.

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 donate blood?

Patients with chronic rhinitis can donate blood. Overall, chronic rhinitis primarily causes inflammation of the nasal mucosa or inferior turbinates, and it does not greatly affect overall health, mainly presenting with localized symptoms in the nose such as nasal congestion, runny nose, and sneezing. Generally, it does not directly impact the blood. Before donating blood, it is possible to conduct some related blood tests to check for other diseases. If the criteria are met, one can normally donate blood. Therefore, there are no contraindications for blood donation in patients with chronic rhinitis, as long as they meet the requirements. Moreover, donating blood to a certain extent is actually beneficial for health.

How to normally regulate chronic rhinitis?

Chronic rhinitis is a relatively common otolaryngologic disease that requires attention in daily life. First, in terms of diet, it should be light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods and allergenic foods, which may affect the condition of rhinitis. Second, consider using saline or physiological seawater to rinse the nasal cavity, generally recommended to wash two to three times daily. This helps improve nasal ventilation and reduce the retention of nasal secretions. Third, it is necessary to regularly visit the otolaryngology outpatient department to check the changes in the condition and clarify the treatment effects. (Medication use should be conducted under the guidance of a professional doctor.)
