Dr. Lu Cheng
The optimal treatment for rhinitis varies from person to person and may include lifestyle adjustments, medication, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) therapies, and surgical treatment.
1. Lifestyle adjustments: Avoid staying in environments with irritating odors, avoid consuming spicy or irritating foods such as mustard and hot pot, and engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immune function.
2. Medication: Use topical medications such as nasal sprays for nasal irrigation as directed by a physician, or take oral antihistamines and anticholinergic drugs as part of treatment.
3. Traditional Chinese medicine: Treatments such as acupuncture and massage may be used to help relieve symptoms of rhinitis.
4. Surgical treatment: For patients with severe symptoms, such as those with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, surgical options including bilateral inferior turbinate resection or inferior turbinate radiofrequency ablation may be considered.
