Treatment is typically initiated with medications. If pharmacological therapy proves ineffective, surgical intervention may be considered; however, postoperatively, nasal irrigation with normal saline is essential to improve the intranasal environment and thereby alleviate symptoms. Patients are advised to consume a nutritious diet in daily life and avoid activities or exposures that may harm their health.
