Rhinitis Season Consultation Guide: Guangzhou Renshu Hospital Creates a New Conv

   In Guangzhou’s summer, outdoor heat and humidity coupled with frequent indoor air conditioning create alternating hot and cold environments, triggering recurrent allergic rhinitis. In recent years, environmental and lifestyle changes have led to a growing number of people suffering from rhinitis symptoms such as nasal congestion, itching, sneezing, and breathing difficulties. During allergy seasons, these symptoms flare up repeatedly, often leaving individuals fatigued and mentally drained. As the sixth most prevalent chronic disease globally, allergic rhinitis—known for being hard to cure and prone to relapse—causes significant distress. The key to effective management lies in consulting the right doctor for personalized, targeted treatment.
