What Are the Symptoms of Chronic Rhinitis and Pharyngitis?

Chronic rhinitis and pharyngitis may cause symptoms such as pain and postnasal drip. Clinical manifestations vary widely—some patients exhibit only mild inflammatory responses, while others present with subtle or nonspecific symptoms. Under a physician’s guidance, adjunctive treatments—including oral medications, nasal sprays, and nasal irrigation with normal saline—may be employed. The primary manifestations of chronic nasopharyngitis include nasopharyngeal pain, a foreign-body sensation, postnasal drip, and blood-tinged nasal discharge; diagnosis typically requires nasopharyngoscopy and routine blood tests.
