    Vasomotor rhinitis stems from autonomic nervous system imbalance, not infection or allergies. Pregnancy and certain medications can trigger rhinitis, managed with nasal sprays, antihistamines, and corticosteroids.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Allergy and Immunology

    Background:

    • Vasomotor rhinitis is a non-allergic, non-infectious nasal condition.
    • It involves autonomic nervous system imbalance affecting nasal blood vessels.
    • Hormonal changes, like during pregnancy due to estrogen, can induce rhinitis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the causes and management of vasomotor rhinitis.
    • To differentiate it from allergic and infectious rhinitis.
    • To discuss rhinitis medicamentosa and its treatment.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of rhinitis causes and treatments.
    • Analysis of autonomic nervous system's role in nasal congestion.
    • Examination of medication-induced rhinitis and rebound phenomena.

    Main Results:

    • Vasomotor rhinitis is linked to parasympathetic overactivity.
    • Estrogen-induced rhinitis occurs during pregnancy or with hormonal treatments.
    • Rhinitis medicamentosa results from topical vasoconstrictor overuse.

    Conclusions:

    • Management includes saline mist, antihistamines, and topical corticosteroids.
    • Intranasal corticosteroid injections require expert administration.
    • Limiting vasoconstrictor use and employing topical steroids are key for rhinitis medicamentosa.
