How can the nasal mucosa be repaired?

Repair of the nasal mucosa currently relies on nasal irrigation in clinical practice. The most common causes of nasal mucosal breakage are nasal mucosal damage after nasal endoscopic surgery and trauma.

The repair of nasal mucosal damage after surgery such as chronic sinusitis relies on nasal irrigation. The more commonly used nasal irrigation solutions in clinical practice include simple saline, sea saline, Bevacor and so on. The temperature of the rinse solution should be close to body temperature, and the head should be lowered and the mouth opened when rinsing to avoid the pressure of the impact to make the water enter the middle ear cavity, and do not blow the nose hard after rinsing, because it takes about 3 months for the nasal mucosa to return to normal after sinusitis surgery, so it is necessary to insist on nasal rinsing and regular nasal endoscopy. Recent studies have shown that recombinant human epidermal growth factor has a very good effect on the repair of nasal mucosa, mainly because it contains peptides that can regulate the growth of multiple types of cells, which is a very important angiogenic factor, and its use can effectively repair the trauma and prevent nasal adhesions. The healing time of the mucosa is shortened and the recovery of nasal function is accelerated, and there are no adverse effects so far.

In conclusion, the repair of nasal mucosa can be treated by nasal irrigation with a variety of drops, and the correct use of nasal irrigation can effectively repair the nasal mucosa and promote the recovery of the patient’s condition.
