Both sides of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy may be related to chronic simple rhinitis, chronic hypertrophic rhinitis and allergic rhinitis, according to the cause of the disease and the characteristics of the disease, choose the general treatment, drug treatment, surgical treatment.
1. Chronic simple rhinitis: the repeated episodes of acute simple rhinitis and the stimulation of adverse physical and chemical factors caused by nasal mucosal congestion, edema and hypertrophy, often manifested as alternating, intermittent nasal congestion, under the premise of removing the causative factors, nasal spray hydroxymethazoline and other nasal decongestant, glucocorticosteroids, such as budesonide nasal spray, and warm saline rinsing of the nasal cavity, oral rhinitis tablets.
2. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis: under the continuous action of the above causes, chronic simple rhinitis can evolve into this disease, which can be manifested as persistent nasal congestion, and mucus is not easy to blow out. In addition to the above treatments, if the conservative treatment is not effective, submucosal resection of inferior turbinate, YAG laser or low temperature plasma inferior turbinate ablation can be chosen.
3. Allergic rhinitis: after contact with allergens, allergic reactions may occur in allergic patients, resulting in recurrent and persistent inferior turbinate edema, which then develops into bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy. It is necessary to effectively avoid contact with allergens, oral antihistamines such as loratadine, leukotriene receptor antagonists such as montelukast, and glucocorticosteroids such as nasal spray budesonide nasal spray.
If the effect of conservative treatment is unsatisfactory, it is feasible to treat with pterygotracheal neurotomy, pre-sialylation nerve block and submucosal resection of inferior turbinate.
When the two sides of the inferior turbinate hypertrophy, can actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis, follow the doctor’s instructions standardized treatment.
