How do doctors treat rhinitis?1

Treatment depends on what’s causing your rhinitis.

If an allergy is causing your rhinitis, doctors will suggest you avoid what you’re allergic to. They may treat you with:

Corticosteroid nasal spray

Antihistamine pills

Sometimes, allergy injections

Doctors may treat other types
of rhinitis with:

Ointment in your nose
Nasal decongestants (sprays or pills)
Flushing water through your nose
(nasal irrigation)
Humidifier or vaporizer to make the
air in your home more humid

Speak to your healthcare provider about treatments for allergic rhinitis.1
