Abstract

Rhinitis is one of the most common conditions. Viruses are the main cause of inflammation of the nasal mucosa. During the development of the disease, a bacterial infection joins or an opportunistic flora is activated. In the early stages of the process, symptomatic therapy is indicated, including irrigation of the nasal mucosa with isotonic saline solution, decongestants of both local and systemic action. If there is a purulent nature of the inflammation, local anti-inflammatory and antibacterial treatment can be added to the therapy. One option is a silver solution. A 2% solution of Protargol has been used since early childhood. The drug is effective in acute and chronic rhinitis, rhinosinusitis and adenoiditis.
