Q. My cold hasn't cleared up for a month. Could it be rhinitis?

A.

The common cold is a viral infection that typically resolves in 1-2 weeks and usually involves a fever. If only nasal symptoms persist for more than 2 weeks without a fever, it indicates that it has progressed to rhinitis or sinusitis. If you keep taking only cold medicine, your nasal lining will only become drier.

📝 Detailed Answer

감기는 손님이고, 비염은 눌러앉은 세입자입니다.

  • 환절기: "환절기마다 감기 달고 산다"는 분들, 대부분 감기가 아니라 알레르기 비염입니다.
  • 치료: 비염 치료(항알레르기, 면역 보강)로 접근해야 낫습니다.
💡 항생제

단순 비염에 항생제는 효과가 없고 내성만 키웁니다. 세균 감염(축농증) 증거가 있을 때만 씁니다.
