Turbinate hypertrophy's disease is congestion, edema, hyperplasia, hypertrophy or polypoid degeneration of nasal mucosa caused by long-term inflammatory stimulation. The main manifestations are persistent nasal congestion, olfactory dysfunction, dizziness and other symptoms, which affect normal work, study and life. Clinically, patients' conscious symptoms are often relieved by reducing the volume of turbinate. These methods include freezing, laser, microwave, radio frequency, surgery and so on. However, after treatment, complications such as nasal adhesion, rhinitis sicca and nosebleeds may occur.

treat cordially

Treatment guidelines usually eradicate the cause by means of drugs, freezing, laser, microwave, radio frequency and surgery. So as to relieve local symptoms and restore nasal ventilation function.

Drug therapy is suitable for mild patients.

For lower turbinate hypertrophy caused by chronic allergic rhinitis, antihistamines and glucocorticoids can be used to relieve the symptoms of nasal mucosal edema.

Second, decongestant therapy.

For patients with mild symptoms, nasal decongestants, such as 0.05% oxymetazoline, can be dripped. , should be selected, but attention should be paid to the contraindications and usage of drugs, and naphazoline hydrochloride is easy to cause drug-induced rhinitis, so it should be used under the guidance of a doctor.

Surgical treatment and conservative treatment have little effect, or the mucosa is too thick, or the thick part is located at the back or lower edge of the inferior turbinate, so partial turbinectomy or partial middle turbinectomy can be used. The inferior turbinectomy should not be too much, in principle, it should not exceed one third of the inferior turbinate, so as not to affect the function of nasal mucosa or secondary atrophic rhinitis.

Other treatments can also use physical or injection methods, such as freezing, laser, microwave, radio frequency, nasal irrigation, blocking therapy, acupuncture therapy, etc., to reduce the volume of turbinate and improve ventilation.

Expansion? Dietary advice

The diet should be light. It is recommended to eat fresh vegetables and fruits that are easy to digest and rich in nutrients such as protein and vitamins.

Dietary taboo
