About Rhinitis

Rhinitis is not a surgical procedure but a common inflammatory condition of the nasal lining, characterized by symptoms like a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, and itching. An ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist diagnoses and manages this condition through a comprehensive evaluation. Treatment is tailored to the type, allergic, non-allergic, or infectious, and may involve a combination of medical management, lifestyle modifications, and, in some cases, minor in-office procedures. Effective management by an ENT specialist focuses on identifying triggers, reducing inflammation, and alleviating symptoms to significantly improve a patient's quality of life and daily function.
