Rhinitis is a common disease, symptoms of which include: sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and nasal itching. Symptoms mostly appeared in the morning and evening time.
Treatments for rhinitis include antihistamine, corticosteroids, decongestants and leukotriene receptor antagonists. However, many patients complained about side effects and recurrence of symptoms after stop taking medicine. Thus, a quick, effective remedy is necessary for patients with rhinitis. Not surprisingly, many patients have turned to traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to seek for help.
We report a case of a 33-year-old male patient with rhinitis for years seeking TCM advice. The symptoms was fully recovered after taking Chinese herbal formulae which contains modified Chai Hu Gui Zhi Tang within 2 months. This approach seems to offer a effective alternative treatment for rhinitis
