Treatment of Vasomotor Rhinitis When Rhinorrhea Is the Sole Nasal Symptom

This protocol addresses vasomotor rhinitis in patients whose nasal complaints are limited to rhinorrhea — with neither nasal obstruction nor nasal congestion present.

• Rhinorrhea (runny nose)
• No nasal obstruction
• No nasal congestion

When rhinorrhea is the sole presenting symptom, empiric treatment from one of several available topical or oral agent classes may be considered — the appropriate choice and sequence depend on the full clinical assessment.

Specific agent selection, clinical decision points, and the complete regimen are detailed in the structured protocol below.
