Rhinitis

Last edited: 4/14/2026

Overview

Rhinitis encompasses inflammation of the nasal mucosa, characterized by symptoms such as nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and itching. It can be categorized into allergic and nonallergic forms, each with distinct etiologies and management strategies 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950.

Diagnosis

  • Symptom Assessment: Evaluate for nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and itching 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950.
  • Allergic Rhinitis: Consider skin prick tests or specific IgE testing 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950.
  • Nonallergic Rhinitis: Rule out underlying causes through nasal endoscopy, CT scans, and nasal provocation tests 20212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950.
  • Nasal Examination: Utilize telescopic videorhinoscopy for detailed anatomical assessment 48.
  • Management

  • Allergic Rhinitis:
  • - Antihistamines: Second-generation antihistamines (e.g., loratadine, cetirizine) 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950. - Intranasal Corticosteroids: Fluticasone, mometasone 1234567891011121314151617181920212223242526272829303132333435363738394041424344454647484950.
