Qingbitang: What are the common types of rhinitis?

Chronic rhinitis

Chronic rhinitis is a phenomenon caused by bacterial infection. If the treatment is not thorough or secondary infection occurs, it will cause the recurrence of chronic rhinitis. Chronic rhinitis can cause nasal congestion or increased nasal secretions.

Acute rhinitis

If some patients have a cold, it will induce acute rhinitis, which will cause symptoms of nasal congestion and the production of clear nasal discharge.

Allergic rhinitis

Allergic rhinitis has a certain seasonality. Some patients will experience symptoms of allergic rhinitis in spring or autumn, which can cause nasal congestion or sudden nasal itching.

Atrophic rhinitis

If some patients lose the normal physiological function of the nasal mucosa, it will cause symptoms of atrophic rhinitis. This phenomenon is generally caused by bacterial or viral infection. The patient's nasal cavity will become wide or extremely susceptible to infection.

Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis

Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is generally caused by simple rhinitis. This phenomenon will cause nasal congestion and nasal mucosal hyperplasia in patients.

Cheesy rhinitis

Since rhinitis can cause soft tissue infection in the nasal cavity and even deformity inside or outside the nasal cavity, caseous rhinitis can cause local tissue necrosis or purulent lesions in the nasal cavity.
