Rhinitis

Rhinitis is inflammation of the nasal mucosa. Rhinitis can be caused by a viral infection (acute rhinitis; see Colds) or an allergic reaction (allergic rhinitis; see Hay fever). With atrophic rhinitis, the nasal mucosa becomes thinner and more fragile. In the case of persnial or vasomotor rhinitis, excessive growth of the nasal mucosa is observed, accompanied by increased secretion of mucus.

Rhinitis: causes, symptoms and treatment

Rhinitis is an inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa that can be caused by various factors, including a viral infection or an allergic reaction. In this article we will look at the main causes, symptoms and treatment methods of rhinitis.

Causes of rhinitis

Acute rhinitis, also known as the common cold, is the most common form of rhinitis. It is usually caused by a viral infection and is accompanied by a runny nose, congestion, cough and other symptoms.

Allergic rhinitis is caused by an allergic reaction to various substances such as pollen, dust, lint, mold and other allergens. This type of rhinitis may occur all year round (persial rhinitis) or only during certain seasons (seasonal rhinitis).

Atrophic rhinitis is characterized by thin and fragile nasal mucosa, which can cause nosebleeds or crusty noses.
