Autumn has arrived, bringing clear weather and cold winds. However, for those who suffer from rhinitis, this season can be particularly troublesome. While many associate rhinitis with spring allergies caused by pollen and fine dust, fall weather can actually worsen symptoms. The daily temperature fluctuations between morning and evening can disrupt the nose’s ability to regulate air temperature and humidity, making rhinitis symptoms more severe compared to spring.
Recent statistics from the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service show that the number of people seeking medical treatment for vasomotor and allergic rhinitis has increased in September and October, surpassing the numbers seen in the spring months of April and May.
Rhinitis occurs when the nasal passages and sinuses become infected, leading to swelling of the nasal mucosa and excessive mucus production. This can cause cold-like respiratory symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and persistent itching. These symptoms can lead to reduced concentration, worsen overall physical condition, and increase the susceptibility to colds. If left untreated, chronic rhinitis can lead to complications like sinusitis, conjunctivitis, otitis media, and sinusitis.
To alleviate these symptoms, there are several measures one can take. Strengthening immunity through regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and consuming at least 1.5 liters of water per day is crucial. Maintaining a constant humidity level in the home and practicing good personal hygiene, such as thorough hand washing, can also help prevent dryness and reduce the impact of allergens for those with allergic rhinitis. Combining environmental therapy with drug therapy after an allergy test can provide further relief.
However, in cases where breathing difficulties persist due to enlargement of the inferior turbinate and narrowing of the airway, functional rhinoplasty may be considered. Functional rhinoplasty addresses the underlying causes of runny nose and nasal congestion, such as hypertrophic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis. This procedure not only improves nasal function but also enhances the aesthetic appearance of the nose. It is performed under proper diagnosis and can be covered by insurance, providing cost benefits to patients.
Director Park Eon-joo of Banobagi Plastic Surgery highlighted the advantages of functional rhinoplasty, stating that it effectively addresses both functional issues and nasal aesthetics while saving time and money. He emphasized the importance of seeking treatment from a reputable hospital with the necessary equipment and expertise to ensure successful results.
Overall, taking proactive measures to manage rhinitis symptoms and seeking appropriate medical interventions can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals affected by this condition during the fall season.

[뉴스에이 = 김인배 기자] Autumn has arrived, with clear weather and cold winds blowing. However, while enjoying the clear fall weather is short-lived, people with rhinitis find their noses itchy and their rhinitis worsening.
In general, many people expect that more rhinitis patients will occur in the spring due to pollen and fine dust. However, in the fall, when there is a large daily temperature difference between morning and evening, the nose’s ability to regulate air temperature and humidity decreases, and our bodies are unable to adapt to rapid temperature changes, make rhinitis symptoms worse than in the spring.
In fact, according to Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service statistics on the number of rhinitis patients in 2022, the number of patients visiting medical institutions with vasomotor and allergic rhinitis increased more in September and October than in April and May, spring season.
Rhinitis, which occurs when the nasal passages and paranasal sinuses become infected, causes the nasal mucosa to swell and secrete a lot of mucus, causing respiratory symptoms like a cold. Various symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and recurring itching can reduce concentration and worsen the general physical condition, leading to a cold. If the symptoms of rhinitis persist, the nose may be blocked and full of snot throughout the year, which can lead to sinusitis, conjunctivitis, otitis media, and sinusitis.
In order to relieve these symptoms of rhinitis, it is important to create an environment that can reduce the temperature difference between the air entering the nose and find the cause.
Firstly, you should maintain your immunity by exercising regularly, getting enough sleep, and consuming more than 1.5 liters of water a day You should also maintain thorough personal hygiene, such as keeping the humidity in the house constant to prevent dryness and do custom hand washing. If you suffer from allergic rhinitis, it is a good idea to combine environmental therapy with drug therapy after an allergy test to find the causative allergen.
However, if breathing becomes difficult due to enlargement of the inferior turbinate in the nose and narrowing of the airway, treatment with functional rhinoplasty may be considered after determining the cause of the runny nose and nasal congestion. In addition, in the case of a deviated septum, which causes the nasal septum located in the middle of the nose to bend, causing diseases such as nasal congestion, sinusitis, sinusitis, and rhinitis, the nasal septum can be corrected and r nasal line through functional rhinoplasty.
Functional rhinoplasty is a procedure that creates a nose that is comfortable to breathe by solving various causes such as hypertrophic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis where the nose is blocked due to narrow nasal valves and the mucous membrane is swollen, while also creates an aesthetic effect by keeping. the line of the nose. Additionally, functional rhinoplasty is a surgical procedure performed for curative purposes under proper diagnosis and can be covered by actual cost insurance, so you can enjoy cost benefits as well.
Park Eon-joo, director of Banobagi Plastic Surgery, said, “Functional rhinoplasty has a great advantage of saving time and money as it can improve functional problems and nasal lines by eliminating the cause of nasal disease,” and added, “It has a high understanding of’ r nose and rich experience.” “Only when it is performed in a hospital with the right equipment will you be able to achieve primary functional improvement and satisfactory external results,” he said.
