Common types of rhinitis in clinical practice include acute rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, etc., and the drugs that patients need to take will be different, so it is recommended to avoid self-use of drugs to avoid delaying the condition.

1. Acute rhinitis: due to the decline of the body's resistance, the virus will induce acute rhinitis, which is mainly manifested as nasal dryness, foreign body sensation, nasal itching, runny nose, nasal congestion, sneezing, fever and other symptoms. Under the guidance of a doctor, patients can take antibacterial drugs such as cefixime dispersible tablets, amoxicillin potassium clavulanate tablets, or antiviral drugs such as ribavirin tablets and amantadine hydrochloride tablets**, and some patients can also take Chinese patent medicines, such as Nasal Yuan Tongjiao Granules, Tongqi Rhinitis Capsules, Xanthium Rhinitis Capsules, etc., to relieve nasal discomfort symptoms.

Patients can follow the doctor's instructions to take some Chinese patent medicines**, such as rhinitis tablets, Huo gall pills, etc., which can control the progression of the disease and relieve uncomfortable symptoms.

3. Allergic rhinitis: due to contact with allergens and other factors, patients will have symptoms such as runny nose, nasal itching, nasal congestion, and sneezing. At this time, you can take antihistamine drugs such as cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, loratadine tablets, and lupatadine fumarate tablets according to the doctor's instructions, as well as leukotriene receptor blockers such as trimikalast capsules and montelukast sodium chewable tablets**.

If the symptoms are severe, glucocorticoids such as dexamethasone acetate tablets can also be added for anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic**.

In addition, including drug rhinitis, dry rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc., it is recommended that patients go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for allergen examination, nasal secretion smear examination, nasal endoscopy, etc., to make a clear diagnosis and take targeted **. If the above symptoms are severe, a combination of topical medications** such as budesonide nasal spray, mometasone furoate nasal spray, oxymetazoline hydrochloride spray, naphazoline hydrochloride nasal drops, etc., can also be used as directed to accelerate symptom relief.
