I'm looking for some help understanding how common chronic rhinitis is. I've been reading up on it, but I haven't been able to find any reliable sources that give me an answer. Does anyone have any experience with chronic rhinitis or have any information about how common it is? Any advice or knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

Chronic rhinitis is a common condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by a persistent inflammation of the nasal passages, causing nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and other symptoms. The condition can be caused by allergies, environmental irritants, or infections, and can range from mild to severe.

Symptoms of Chronic Rhinitis

The most common symptoms of chronic rhinitis include:

• Nasal congestion
• Runny nose
• Sneezing
• Itching or burning sensations in the nose
• Postnasal drip
• Loss of smell
• Headache
• Coughing
• Fatigue

Risk Factors for Chronic Rhinitis

There are several factors that can increase the risk of developing chronic rhinitis, including:

• Age: Adults over the age of 65 are more likely to develop chronic rhinitis.
• Exposure to allergens: Allergens such as dust mites, pet dander, and pollen can trigger chronic rhinitis.
• Exposure to irritants: Exposure to smoke, strong odors, chemicals, or other irritants can trigger chronic rhinitis.
• Infections: Chronic rhinitis can be caused by a bacterial or viral infection.

Treatment of Chronic Rhinitis

The treatment of chronic rhinitis will depend on the underlying cause. Allergy medications, decongestants, antihistamines, and nasal sprays may be used to relieve symptoms. In some cases, corticosteroids may be prescribed to reduce inflammation. In cases of infection, antibiotics may be used to treat the infection. In severe cases, surgery may be needed to remove polyps or to repair a deviated septum.

It is estimated that up to 10% of the general population is affected, according to the World Health Organization. Symptoms often include nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, post-nasal drip, and facial pressure or pain. Treatment can range from lifestyle changes, such as avoiding triggers, to medications such as antihistamines and nasal steroids. In more severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct underlying issues.
