Rhinitis is a nasal inflammatory disease. It is the inflammation of the nasal mucosa caused by viruses, bacteria, allergens, various physical and chemical factors, and certain systemic diseases. The main pathological changes of rhinitis are nasal mucosal congestion, swelling, exudation, hyperplasia, atrophy or necrosis.


Symptoms of rhinitis:

Here's one of the most obvious symptom: alternation. If lying on the side, sometimes you might feel that one side of the nose is blocked, while the other side of the nose is still well-breathing. You might already get the disease! Due to nasal congestion, there may be symptoms such as loss of sense of smell, headache, dizziness, and speech with occlusive nasal sounds.

(2) Polysaccharides are often mucoid or purulent, and even purulent, more than secondary infection.

(3) The olfactory decline is caused by two reasons. One is swelling of the nasal mucosa, nasal congestion, airflow can not enter the olfactory area; second, the mucosa of the olfactory area is stimulated by chronic inflammation for a long time, and the olfactory function is reduced or disappeared.
