What to do with chronic nasopharyngitis? Treatment with integrated Chinese and Western medicine

The main characteristic of chronic nasopharyngitis is its recurrent attacks. If you suffer from chronic rhinitis, you will also develop chronic pharyngitis. Because the adjacent organs are easily infected, it is best to choose a combination of traditional Chinese medicine and treatment.

Chronic nasopharyngitis is a chronic inflammatory disease with a slow course of disease. It often coexists with adjacent organs or systemic diseases, such as sinusitis, adenoid remnants or retention abscesses, pharyngeal pouch inflammation, etc., which may cause long-term irritation of the nasopharynx and lead to inflammation. In addition, it is closely related to certain unexplained diseases or symptoms, such as endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, long-term low fever, headache, dizziness, bad breath and loss of smell. When chronic nasopharyngitis is cured, some diseases or symptoms can be significantly improved or cured.

Western medicine treatment

1. Use oily nose drops locally, such as peppermint oil nose drops, new oil nose drops, etc., to keep the local mucous membrane moist;

2. Local application of gentamicin, dexamethasone, chymotrypsin and other aerosol inhalation to achieve local anti-inflammatory effect;

3. Oral Chinese patent medicines for clearing away heat and detoxification, such as nasopharyngeal detoxification agent, Jinsang Liyan pills, etc.;

Treatments for chronic nasopharyngitis include:

1. General treatment: The main drugs used are nasal drops. The specific operation is: when applying the medicine, the nostrils should face upwards and the head should be tilted back to prevent the medicine from flowing into the mouth. 3 to 5 drops can be applied to one nostril each time. Keep the head in the same position for 5 minutes after applying the medicine. Use the medicine 3 to 5 times a day.

2. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that chronic rhinitis is mainly caused by deficiency of lung and spleen qi and stagnation of qi and blood stasis. Chronic rhinitis should be treated mainly by tonifying the lung and spleen and clearing the nasal passages. The specific method is: 10 grams of Xanthium sibiricum, 10 grams of Angelica dahurica, 10 grams of Magnolia officinalis, and 3 grams of mint (added later).

3. Massage therapy: Use the thumb and index finger of your right hand to pinch both sides of the bridge of the nose, and push up and down with a little force, from the inner corner of the eye to the top of the nose wing, for 10 minutes each time, twice a day. Although massage can play a moderate role in dredging the meridians.
