Patient's question:
During the spring and summer seasons, I often feel uncomfortable with my nose, experiencing stuffiness, inflammation, and difficulty breathing. I then go to the pharmacy to buy medicine and frequently use nasal drops. At first, I felt they were quite effective, but over time, they seemed to lose their efficacy, and the stuffiness became even worse. How can medicinal rhinitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Pharmaceutical rhinitis is primarily treated under the guidance of a doctor by using some anti-inflammatory drugs or other antibiotics to reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. The possibility of completely curing rhinitis is not very high, so it is usually just to take some medication and use some ointments to relieve symptoms and control the spread of the disease. If pharmaceutical rhinitis is particularly severe, surgery may be necessary for treatment. In daily life, it is important to avoid eating too much spicy, greasy, and irritating food to prevent stimulating the nasal cavity and worsening the symptoms.
