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.
