Symptoms of rhinitis vary widely and can significantly impact quality of life, potentially causing breathing difficulties, reduced blood oxygen concentration, and affecting the function and metabolism of other tissues and organs. Untreated rhinitis may lead to complications such as emphysema, cor pulmonale, asthma, headaches, dizziness, memory decline, chest pain, chest tightness, and mental fatigue. When left untreated, chronic sinusitis can spread inflammation to nearby organs and tissues, leading to severe complications like frontal bone osteomyelitis, orbital wall osteitis, periosteal abscesses, orbital cellulitis, retrobulbar optic neuritis, epidural abscesses, subdural abscesses, purulent meningitis, brain abscesses, and thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus.
