Answer to Question 1

1
Treatment of acute rhinitis, or the common cold, is aimed at decreasing the impact of the symptoms and preventing secondary bacterial infection. Rhinitis medicamentosa occurs from misuse of nasal decongestants. Acetaminophen or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agent is useful for fever, aches, and pain. Rest is encouraged.

Answer to Question 2

1
Clients often complain of unilateral face pain, purulent nasal discharge, pain during mastication, anosmia (absence of smell), and headache. Less common symptoms include fever, nasal congestion, halitosis, toothache, metallic taste, and cough.
