Chronic nasopharyngitis

Introduction to chronic nasopharyngitis Chronic nasopharyngitis is a chronic inflammation with a slow progression of the disease. It often coexists with adjacent organs or systemic diseases, such as sinusitis, adenoids or residual abscesses, pharyngitis, etc., which may cause long-term stimulation of the nasopharynx. . In addition, it is closely related to certain diseases or symptoms of unknown cause, such as endocrine disorders, gastrointestinal dysfunction, rheumatoid arthritis, long-term hypothermia, headache, dizziness, bad breath and lack of sense of smell. basic knowledge The proportion of sickness: 0.01%-0.018% Susceptible people: no specific population Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: sinusitis, pharyngitis

Causes of chronic nasopharyngitis

1, recurrent episodes of acute pharyngitis into chronic

2, upper respiratory tract chronic inflammation stimulation

Such as: chronic sinusitis, inflammation of the nasopharynx. Because the inflammatory secretions flow through the posterior nostrils to the posterior pharyngeal wall to stimulate the mucosa, it can also cause the patient to breathe for a long time, causing excessive mucosal dryness, leading to chronic pharyngitis. In addition, chronic tonsillitis and the like can also cause chronic pharyngitis.

3, long-term excessive alcohol and tobacco, dust

Stimulation of harmful gases can also cause chronic pharyngitis.

4, occupational factors

Factors such as teachers, singers, etc. and personal physique can also be the cause of the disease.

5, systemic factors

Such as anemia, dyspepsia, reflux esophagitis, cardiovascular disease, chronic lower respiratory tract inflammation, liver and kidney disease, endocrine disorders, autonomic dysfunction, vitamin deficiency, immune dysfunction, etc. can cause the disease.

Chronic nasopharyngitis prevention

1, quit smoking and alcohol, pay attention to food hygiene and environmental hygiene, to avoid long-term stimulation of dust.

2, should try to avoid entering and crowding places, and pay attention to wearing masks.

3, active treatment of acute rhinitis, every time you have a cold nasal congestion, can not use force to nose, so as not to cause nasal infection.

4, should pay attention to exercise, participate in appropriate sports activities.

5. Pay attention to climate change and increase or decrease clothes in time.

Chronic nasopharyngeal complications Complications, sinusitis, pharyngitis

Can be complicated by sinusitis, adenoid residual or retention abscess, pharyngitis and so on.

Chronic nasopharyngitis symptoms Common symptoms Pharyngeal foreign body sensation Throat dry congestion, sore throat, throat congestion, nasal dryness, runny nose, lymphoid follicle hyperplasia, fatigue, dizziness

Nasopharyngeal dry discomfort, sticky secretions are not easy to cough up, so patients often cough frequently accompanied by nausea. Severe cases have systemic or local symptoms such as hoarseness, sore throat, headache, dizziness, fatigue, indigestion, and low fever. Nasopharyngeal examination showed chronic mucosal hyperemia, hypertrophy and hypertrophy, covered with secretions or dryness. Chronic nasopharyngitis is a diffuse inflammation of the mucosa, submucosa, and lymphoid tissues of the nasopharynx. Clinically, it is often characterized by dryness of the nasopharynx, sticky secretions in the back of the nose, coughing out of the massive secretions, and headaches.

Chronic nasopharyngitis examination

an examination:

Blood routine examination showed an increase in white blood cell count, but no diagnostic significance.

Diagnosis and diagnosis of chronic nasopharyngitis

diagnosis

Diagnosis can be based on clinical symptoms.

Differential diagnosis

Should pay attention to the identification of structural rhinitis, structural rhinitis is one or more nasal structural anomalies in the nasal cavity, such as nasal septum deviation, middle turbinate reverse bending and inferior turbinate internal extension and other structural abnormalities, often cause nasal ventilation and function abnormal.
