Résumé |
Clinical symptoms of allergic and nonallergic rhinitis are similar despite the significant difference in underlying mechanisms. Over-the-counter (OTC) treatments can be used as effective and affordable therapeutic modalities when recommended by a physician. Adjunct treatments, such as herbal medicine, acupuncture and homeopathy, have become increasingly popular. Most of the treatments reviewed in this article are available OTC and are a likely choice for patients suffering from acute or chronic rhinitis. This article provides an overview of treatment suggestions, benefits, and side effects for available OTC, prescription drug, and alternative choices in addition to the therapies described in other articles.
