How to treat cold rhinitis? How to treat cold rhinitis?

Rhinitis and colds are both diseases with a high incidence rate. Since both of them present with symptoms of nasal congestion, they are sometimes confused by people. In addition, colds can also cause chronic rhinitis, so the treatment of rhinitis requires identifying the cause. So how to treat rhinitis caused by colds?

1: The incidence of rhinitis and colds is relatively high, and the main symptom of both is nasal congestion, so they are often confused. In fact, the nasal congestion of rhinitis and colds is different. There are two major characteristics of rhinitis and nasal congestion, namely intermittent and alternating. Intermittent mainly manifests that the nasal congestion of patients is relieved during the day, hot weather, labor or exercise, and worsens at night, when sitting or in cold weather. Alternating nasal congestion is manifested as obstruction of the lower nasal cavity and good ventilation of the upper nasal cavity when lying on the side. Due to nasal congestion, occasional loss of smell, headache, dizziness, and nasal voice when speaking are symptoms such as blocked nasal cavity.

1: Chronic rhinitis is mostly caused by colds. If not treated in time, it is likely to cause sinusitis. Western medicine does not have any good treatment options. Surgery, microwave or laser treatment can only provide temporary relief, and the recurrence rate is very high. The first choice for chronic rhinitis is conservative treatment. Chinese herbal medicine is very effective for chronic rhinitis. Local anti-inflammatory, repair nasal mucosa, pay attention to nasal hygiene, strengthen physical exercise, strictly prohibit smoking, alcohol and spicy food, and keep warm.

1: Drink plenty of water, eat light food, clear your bowels, and take rest. Early sweating therapy can alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease. You can use ginger, brown sugar and scallion to boil water and drink it hot; use antipyretic and analgesic drugs such as compound aspirin.

2: Decongestant nasal drops can reduce nasal mucosal congestion and swelling, relieve nasal congestion, and improve drainage, such as 1% ephedrine nasal drops or 0.05% oxymetazoline. The concentration of the drug for children should be appropriately reduced, and the maximum duration of use should not exceed 10 days.

3: If you have fever, headache and nasal congestion, you can take aspirin, benzyl alcohol, antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine, etc.) and vitamin C orally; Chinese medicine can be selected from Isatis root granules, cold and heat-clearing granules, antiviral oral liquid, nasal soothing capsules, etc.; if necessary, add antibiotics or sulfonamides.

4: When people with chronic rhinitis catch a cold, their nasal secretions will increase and they will also experience nasal congestion. They should promptly clean up the secretions containing viruses, bacteria, and dust. This can not only relieve nasal congestion, but also provide a clean environment for the nasal cavity to prevent the inflammation from worsening.

The treatment methods for colds and rhinitis are all very clear. After catching a cold, you still need to detect it in time and do a good job of treatment. Don't always think it doesn't matter. After all, a cold can easily give other diseases an opportunity to take advantage. Only by raising awareness of prevention and treatment and strengthening prevention capabilities can you avoid harm.
