Doctor's answer:
Here is the English translation of the provided text, with the original Chinese line breaks preserved:Home Remedies for Rhinitis:
Rhinitis (including allergic, atrophic, and sinusitis):
First, soak 3~5 cloves of garlic (peeled) in a bottle of aged vinegar for two days. Then, take two new red bricks and heat them over a fire until they are very hot. Remove the bricks and pour two tablespoons of vinegar onto them. At this point, a strong stream of hot vapor will rise. The patient should inhale this hot vapor through the nose, twice a day, alternating for 7 days. This method clears heat, reduces inflammation, expels toxins, and opens nasal passages, effectively treating various types of rhinitis with remarkable results.
