Question
The patient asked Dr. Jiang, as previous treatments for allergic rhinitis had a strong irritating effect on the gastrointestinal tract, causing acid reflux, whether there were non-irritating nasal decongestants available.
Answer
Dr. Jiang responded that the treatment for allergic rhinitis should be based on individual constitution and differentiation, not necessarily involving cold and cool herbs, as traditional Chinese medicine has the principle of meridian tropism, which can treat both diseases simultaneously. Regarding medication selection, it must be determined after differentiation.
