Acute rhinitis

The precipitating factors for rhinitis must be established first. Dust, smoke, molds and other allergens are examples, and the use of air conditioners in bed-rooms and cars can also be the cause when a runny nose condition becomes prolonged. After establishing the probable cause(s), three distinct categories can be distinguished allergic rhinitis, vasomotor rhinitis, and acute rhinitis such as in influenza or common cold. [Pg.501]

These compounds have been used for many centuries and still find use today in their original forms or through synthetic analogs. Conditions which respond to muscarinic antagonists include irritable bowel syndrome, ulcers, diarrhea, glaucoma, acute rhinitis in addition to some CNS disorders. For example, Lomitil is a prescription treatment for diarrhea which is composed of atropine and diphenoxylate (an opiod with similar effects). [Pg.70]

Upper respiratory tract disorders are diagnosed as upper respiratory infections (URIs) and include acute rhinitis, sinusitis, acute tonsillitis, and acute laryngitis. Do not confuse acute rhinitis with allergic rhinitis. [Pg.174]

Antitussives suppress the cough center in the medulla. A cough from acute rhinitis is caused by nasal mucous draining into the respiratory tract. There are two types of antitussives, non-narcotic and narcotic. [Pg.175]

Acute pharyngitis is inflammation of the throat that results in coughing, an elevated temperature, and pain when swallowing. Acute pharyngitis can lead to other upper respiratory tract diseases, such as acute rhinitis or acute sinusitis. [Pg.182]

Pneumonia is an infection in the lungs caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or chemical irritants. Pneumonia starts as an upper respiratory infection as a result of acute pharyngitis or acute rhinitis and leads to a lower respiratory infection. Pneumonia is contagious and spreads via droplets in the air from coughing and sneezing. Symptoms of pneumonia can occur 3 days after the upper respiratory infection. [Pg.182]

Acute rhinitis, known as the common cold, is caused by the rhinovirus. [Pg.192]

What effect do home remedies have on acute rhinitis ... [Pg.192]

RESPIRATORY TRACT These drugs reduce secretion in both the upper and lower respiratory tracts. This effect in the nasopharynx may provide symptomatic relief of acute rhinitis associated with coryza or hay fever. The contribution of antihistamines employed in cold mixtures is likely due to their antimuscarinic properties, except in conditions with an allergic basis. [Pg.122]

The common cold is caused by the rhinovims invading the nasopharyngeal tract. The rhinovims is frequently accompanied by acute inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose and increased nasal secretions. This is known as acute rhinitis. [Pg.280]
