Due to different causes of rhinitis, patients are advised to receive symptomatic treatment based on the underlying cause under the guidance of a doctor. If caused by acute rhinitis, antiviral medications may be taken, such as Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid or Qingkailing Granules. If caused by chronic rhinitis, patients can use normal saline to rinse the nasal cavity to relieve nasal congestion.
