Since there is no cure for infectious rhinitis, a cold or the flu, the doctor will encourage you to rest and hydrate. Nasal decongestants can ease symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Vasomotor rhinitis has similar symptoms to allergies, so the doctor may <a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/service\/allergies\/diagnosis-treatment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">perform an allergy test<\/a> to rule it out as the cause of symptoms. It is best to avoid environmental triggers of vasomotor rhinitis.<\/p>\n<p>Atrophic rhinitis causes nasal crusting, widening of nasal passages, foul smell and loss of smelling ability. A doctor may suggest antihistamines, anticholinergics or sodium cromoglicate nasal sprays to manage symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>Rhinitis medicamentosa is often caused by overuse of nasal sprays. The doctor may recommend a \u201cwait and see\u201d approach.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about nonallergic rhinitis or to schedule an appointment, call Nevada Ear + Sinus Institute today!<\/p>\n<h3>Learn More About Allergy and Sinus Health<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/do-you-have-seasonal-allergiesor-sinusitis\/\">Do You Have Seasonal Allergies\u2026or Sinusitis?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/can-lasers-help-chronic-sinusitis-sufferers\/\">Can Lasers Help Chronic Sinusitis Sufferers?<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nesilv.com\/your-nose-knows\/\">Your Nose Knows<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rhinitis is inflammation of the nose that causes cold-like symptoms such as itchiness, congestion, running and sneezing.
