Q. Can rhinitis and sinusitis be treated together?

A.

Yes, simultaneous treatment is more effective.

📝 Detailed Answer

Rhinitis and sinusitis often coexist (combined cases account for 60–70%). Simultaneous treatment of root causes is more effective than treating each separately. Treatment includes: ① herbal medicine (heat-clearing and diuretic herbs), ② acupuncture (LI20, ST3 Juliao, GV23 Shangxing), ③ pharmacopuncture (anti-inflammatory effect), ④ nasal saline rinse. Acute sinusitis requires antibiotic combination, while chronic sinusitis benefits more from Korean medicine alone. Treatment duration is typically 2–4 months.
