Irritation and inflammation of some internal areas of the nose and the primary symptom of rhinitis is a runny nose.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the sinus membranes beginning in the mucous membranes of the nose (rhino means “nose”).<\/p>\n

\n

Simply, inflammation of the sinus membranes, sometimes extending to the eyes and ears. It may be caused by a head cold, hay fever, or a chemical irritant.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose, which makes the nose run, caused, e.g., by a virus infection or an allergic reaction to dust or flowers.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the mucous membrane lining of the nose, usually associated with a nasal discharge; it may be caused by a viral infection, as in the common cold; or by allergic reaction, as in hay fever; also called coryza.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the mucous membrane lining the nose that may result from a number of causes, including the common cold, allergies, irritation of the nose from air pollutants, and the side effects of medications such as over-the- counter nasal decongestant sprays.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose. It may be caused by vims infection or an allergic reaction (allergic rhinitis). In atrophic rhinitis the mucous membrane becomes thinned and fragile; in chronic catarrhal rhinitis there is overgrowth of, and increased secretion by, the membrane.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation or irritation of the nasal passages, resulting in runny nose, nasal congestion, and\/or postnasal draiange.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the nasal passages and respiratory tract.<\/p>\n

\n

Inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane can result in symptoms like a congested feeling, nasal drainage, and sneezing.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Viral rhinitis is commonly associated with the common cold and can occasionally progress to sinusitis.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

Allergic rhinitis can be seasonal, often triggered by pollens, or it can happen year-round due to factors like household dust, molds, or pets. It frequently coexists with vasomotor rhinitis.<\/p>\n

\n

Vasomotor rhinitis can either occur sporadically or be persistent. The nose becomes highly sensitive to various triggers like pollution, fluctuations or extremes in weather conditions, specific foods or medications, and even certain emotional states. This condition is frequently seen during pregnancy or among those taking combined oral contraceptives or other estrogen-based medications.<\/p>\n

\n

Hypertrophic rhinitis features a thickened nasal mucous membrane and ongoing congestion in the nasal veins, often due to recurrent nasal infections. This leads to persistent nasal stuffiness and may also affect the sense of smell. For severe instances, treatment could entail surgical removal or reduction of the swollen tissue.<\/p>\n

\n

Atrophic rhinitis involves the thinning of the nasal mucous membrane and can be caused by factors like aging, long-term bacterial infections, or extensive nasal surgery. Symptoms typically include ongoing nasal infections, nasal discharge, loss of smell, and a foul odor. Treatment options may encompass antibiotics and the use of nasal drops.<\/p>\n

\n

Nasal inflammation can result from various causes, including infections like acute coryza, or allergies, which is referred to as allergic rhinitis (commonly known as hay fever).<\/p>\n
