What is Understanding Rhinitis Medicamentosa about?
Rhinitis medicamentosa, also known as rebound nasal congestion, develops from prolonged use of intranasal vasoconstrictors. It was first documented in the 1930s and 1940s when vasoconstrictors became widely available and marketed without warnings. Prolonged use leads to hyperemia, edema, and reduced sensitivity of the nasal mucosa, resulting in severe nasal obstruction. Management involves withdrawing the offending nasal spray and treating the nasal obstruction through other means.
