Everyone knows that a runny nose (rhinitis) is an inflamed nasal mucosa. It almost always comes along with a cold or the flu and can stay away for quite some time, especially if you have a negligent attitude towards it. Therefore, you should take it with all seriousness and immediately eliminate it. In addition, it simply prevents you from living fully, feeling the taste of your favorite food, inhaling the aromas of spring and flowers, making it difficult to sleep and, finally, to breathe!
You should get rid of such an unpleasant problem as rhinitis. Treatment begins with determining the form of the disease. Each of them has its own symptoms, development and duration. Distinguish between chronic, vasomotor, allergic and acute rhinitis. Treatment includes several other forms of the disease.

Treatment of acute rhinitis or the common cold, most often characteristic of children, but not uncommon in adults, is the use of vasoconstrictor drugs. They are available in the form of drops or sprays and for some period contribute to the elimination of edema and return free breathing. But there is a huge drawback in their application.

And secondly, it’s much faster, and most importantly, better for the body, to find out the cause (disease) and get rid of it, remove the effect (rhinitis). Treatment is necessary, as a runny nose can not only become chronic, but also go into sinusitis. And this is much more serious.

The use of ointments and inhalations with antibiotics (tetrizoline, oxymetazoline, naphazoline and others) is very effective, if rhinitis caused by bacteria is detected. Aloe juice is the best remedy if you have dry rhinitis.
Treatment can also be carried out with the help of folk remedies, which are always safe and have many useful properties. The juice of such a famous plant as Kalanchoe is very effective against rhinitis. It is enough to lubricate the nose several times a day, and soon you will forget about such an uncomfortable condition as unpleasant rhinitis. A very good onion oil-onion mixture, applied in the form of drops. Since ancient times, people have used hot boiled potatoes in the treatment of the common cold . It can be completely rolled around a sore spot, and then, quickly cut into two parts, applied to the nostrils. It is equally effective to breathe steam from boiled potatoes. Beetroot juice has wonderful properties. Just a few drops can relieve chronic rhinitis and remove copious discharge. Menthol oil works well with a runny nose , it, like sea buckthorn, can be additionally mixed with honey and calendula.
