The treatment for rhinitis and nasal congestion primarily involves medication. Rhinitis is a condition caused by inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Nasal congestion due to rhinitis can be relieved under medical guidance using normal saline nasal sprays. It can also be treated with topical nasal sprays such as mometasone furoate or budesonide. For allergic rhinitis, antihistamines such as loratadine may be used as directed by a physician, and it is important to avoid allergens promptly.
