Rhinitis - inflammation of the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity. Unfortunately, it manifests itself in many people. Treatment of chronic colds directly depends on the causes of its formation and the duration of the disease. There are many factors that affect the development of the disease.
Causes of chronic colds
Among the factors that provoke the development of chronic cold, the most common are:

- Anatomical violation of the geometry of the nasal cavity. This may be a curvature of the septum, which often leads to hypertrophy of the shell, or congenital malformations.
- Effects on mucous membranes of harmful fumes, caustic odors and dust for a long time. For example, metal or mineral dust easily injures the shell of the nose. At the same time, dust kills the cilia of the ciliated epithelium and worsens the outflow of secretions from the glands. Large clusters of small particles contribute to the cementation and formation of nasal stones. Poisonous gases and vapors cause acute inflammation, and after a while and chronic.
- Environment. Dry and warm air dries out the mucous membrane, which depresses the work of the ciliated epithelium. Because of the cold air, there is a reflex change in the tone of the vessels.
- Pathological processes that occur in the pharynx and nasal sinuses. For example, the membrane can be irritated by purulent discharge from the paranasal sinuses. This happens with sinusitis or sinusitis. In addition, often there is a narrowing of the nasal passages or a slow course of tonsillitis. In this case, the treatment of chronic rhinitis begins with the elimination of the original cause.
- Allergies.
- Deteriorated blood circulation in the mucosa as a result of kidney diseases, constipation, alcoholism and nervous diseases.
