Nasal vestibulitis is one of the common clinical diseases in otorhinolaryngology. Because of its repeated attacks and lingering refractory, it seriously affects the quality of life of patients. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have carried out a lot of clinical practice and research in the process of understanding and preventing nasal vestibule inflammation, and explored various treatment methods for its treatment, which effectively improved the clinical symptoms of nasal vestibule inflammation. At present, clinical workers use traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine to treat nasal vestibular inflammation, but there are many unavoidable disadvantages in the treatment of nasal vestibular inflammation by traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine alone. This article will review the etiology, pathological mechanism, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment of NV in Chinese and Western medicine.
