Is the development of atrophic rhinitis very serious?

Patient's question:

I have had symptoms of rhinitis since I was a child. Every time the seasons change, I always hiccup and have a runny nose, which is very painful. I went to the hospital for a thorough examination and was told it was atrophic rhinitis, which has never been cured. Could you please tell me how atrophic rhinitis develops and becomes very serious? Is there any way to relieve it?

Doctor's answer:

If atrophic rhinitis is not treated properly, this condition can easily worsen and may lead to the recurrence of some cases of nasopharyngeal cancer. Therefore, it is essential to control the condition as early as possible. On a daily basis, it is mainly necessary to use a nasal rinse device to clean the nasal cavity and avoid inflammation transmission. Additionally, dietary precautions should be taken to avoid consuming irritating foods. It is also important to pay attention to body warmth and prevent colds.
