Disease description:

My chronic rhinitis has never gotten better, causing my nose to be congested most of the time with very little relief. I can only smell particularly strong odors. I'd like to consult a doctor: how can nasal congestion due to rhinitis be treated?

Patients with rhinitis often suffer from nasal congestion and may choose one of the following two methods to relieve symptoms: 1. Medication, such as oral rhinitis solutions or antibiotics; 2. Nasal irrigation, using saline solution to flush out bacteria and allergens from the nasal cavity. This not only helps restore the nasal cavity's detoxification function but also effectively reduces inflammation.
