Patient's question:
These days, I've been feeling dry inside my nose and it's not very breathable. Sometimes I even get nosebleeds, and I often have headaches and dizziness. I thought it was sinusitis, so I took some Sinusitis Comfort, but it didn't help at all, and it's getting worse. The hospital did a thorough check and said it's atrophic rhinitis. I want to ask if atrophic rhinitis can be completely cured?Doctor's answer:
Atrophic rhinitis is caused by the stimulation of long-term chronic inflammation, leading to the recurrence of swelling in the nasal mucosa, which can easily result in dryness of the nose. It is also important to carefully observe for the possibility of recurring headaches. A head CT scan can be performed for a thorough examination. Understanding the potential for sinusitis, oral medications for rhinitis treatment can be taken. Additionally, it is important to maintain a light diet.
