Question

I’ve been having clear nasal discharge since last week, which has turned yellow. I feel discomfort between my eyebrows, pain in my temples, a sore throat, coughing, and a sense of nausea. What type of rhinitis is this, and how should it be treated?

Answer

These symptoms may be caused by rhinitis. Rhinitis primarily refers to inflammation of the nasal mucosa and submucosal tissue. Common symptoms include nasal congestion, clear nasal discharge, nasal itching, throat discomfort, coughing, etc. When the inside of the nose becomes inflamed and produces a large amount of clear mucus, it may turn yellow due to infection. The passage of mucus through the throat can cause coughing, and excessive mucus production can even lead to nosebleeds. Treatment methods include taking oral antihistamines such as Cetrizine or Piriton, and for chronic rhinitis, taking products like Horehuan Wan. Pay attention to a light diet.
