  1. Not only to I like #capsaicin in my food, I also shoot it up my nose 😅 This stuff actually works quite well when you have #chronic #rhinitis.

  2. #Cat #Mastodon help needed please. My daughter is #fostering a cat, her first time. She’s had him 2 weeks. Unfortunately, he has a LOT of health concerns. #Entropion & chronic #rhinitis. He had eye #surgery a week ago & still looks/feels poorly. At his checkup today, they put him on oral #antibiotics & told her he has an #URI & #stomatitis. When his stitches come out, they’ll put him on #steroids for his mouth. He hates getting his meds (who doesn’t?) but doesn’t hold a grudge. Any suggestions?

  3. Chronic #rhinitis in adults is like having your nostrils pinched closed for weeks at a time. You can't sleep, your mouth dries out from mouth-breathing... it's awful. It can lead to sinus & ear infection, polyps and maybe eventually a need for sinus surgery. It's often downplayed by the #medical community because it's not life threatening like heart disease.
    Worse if a patient has high eye pressure (IOP) and high #glaucoma risk -- they can't use meds like #nasal steroids or decongestants, and many antihistamines as they can all increase IOP (via anticholinergic effects).
    So, #MedMastodon, what are some good approaches for this?
    This paper gives a good overview.
