Question
I’ve been blinking and sniffling for several days, and the symptoms don’t seem to be improving. I’m getting a bit anxious. When can I expect to feel better?
Answer
The frequent sniffing may be due to chronic inflammation caused by allergic rhinitis or pharyngitis. Early chronic rhinitis often manifests as chronic congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa. If it progresses to the thickening and hypertrophy of the nasal mucosa and turbinate bones, it is called chronic hypertrophic rhinitis. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for diagnosis and treatment to determine the specific cause and take appropriate treatment measures.
