Patient's question:
At the beginning of October, I had a viral infection in my throat and fevered up to 38 degrees Celsius. I took anti-inflammatory and cold medicine.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be chronic rhinitis. Chronic rhinitis is a chronic inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the underlying submucosal layer. Its main characteristics include inflammation lasting for more than three months or recurring episodes that do not heal, with intervals failing to return to normal. It is also accompanied by varying degrees of nasal congestion, increased secretions, swelling or thickening of the nasal mucosa, and other impairments. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is referred to as biyuan and can be treated with Cang'er Zi San.
