Treatment of Vasomotor Rhinitis with Nasal Obstruction and Congestion but No Rhinorrhea
This protocol addresses vasomotor rhinitis in patients whose primary complaints are nasal obstruction and congestion, without rhinorrhea as a predominant feature. The absence of rhinorrhea changes which therapies are most appropriate to consider first.
Clinical scenario
Nasal obstruction and nasal congestion are the presenting symptoms. Rhinorrhea is not present. This pattern — congestion and obstruction only — shapes the selection of topical therapy.
Treatment approach
For vasomotor rhinitis presenting with obstruction and congestion but no rhinorrhea, a topical nasal agent is the first step to consider.
