The present invention relates to a rhinitis therapeutic device comprising a main body and a pair of insertion rods. The present invention also provides a rhinitis therapeutic device for preventing a light source from radiating during use irrespective of the intent of a user, and a method for controlling same. A detection light source and a light receiving part facing each other are installed on inner surfaces of the insertion rods of the rhinitis therapeutic device. The detection light source emits light when power is supplied. Preferably, the intensity of the detection light source is low enough that there is almost no concern of eye damage. The light of the detection light source is detected in the light receiving part, and when the rhinitis therapeutic device is inserted into the nose, the light of the detection light source is blocked by the nasal septum. One or more therapeutic light sources formed on the pair of the insertion rods are controlled to emit light when the light quantity detected in the light receiving part is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold light quantity, or to emit light when a predetermined reference time elapses after power is supplied. Therefore, the probability of eye damage due to the light source of the rhinitis therapeutic device may be reduced.La présente invention concerne un dispositif thérapeutique pour la rhinite comprenant un corps principal et une paire de tiges d'insertion. La présente invention concerne également un dispositif thérapeutique pour la rhinite permettant d'empêcher une source de lumière de rayonner pendant l'utilisation indépendamment de l'intention d'un utilisateur, et un procédé de commande dudit dispositif thérapeutique pour la rhinite. Une source de lumière de détection et une partie de réception de lumière se faisant face sont installées sur des surfaces internes des tiges d'insertion du dispositif thérapeutique pour la rhinite. La source de lumière de détection émet de la lumière lorsqu'une éner
