Nasal congestion during sleep may be associated with diseases such as chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, adenoid hypertrophy, and posterior maxillary sinus polyps. Depending on the cause of the disease and the characteristics of the condition, general treatment, medication and surgery are required. There is no fastest solution to nasal congestion for all causes.
1. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis: Hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the mucosa of the inferior turbinate, when sleeping, due to the effect of gravity, blood circulation stagnation in the posterior segment of the inferior turbinate to form a blockage, resulting in nasal congestion. The feasibility of hydroxymetazoline, budesonide and other nasal spray nasal spray treatment, procaine for Yingxiang and nasal pass points closed, 80% glycerol lower turbinate sclerotherapy injection. Laser or surgical resection of enlarged turbinate tissue.
2. Adenoid hypertrophy: when sleeping, the soft palate falls back against the surface of the enlarged adenoids, closing the nasopharyngeal cavity, forming nasal congestion. Once this symptom occurs, most choose to actively treat the upper respiratory tract chronic diseases, in the conservative treatment effect is not good, need surgery to remove the hypertrophied adenoids.
3. Posterior maxillary sinus polyp: it can be triggered by nasal inflammation and stimulation of adverse physical and chemical factors, etc. When sleeping, the polyp tissue hangs down to the posterior nostril causing nasal congestion. The main conservative treatment is nasal spray fluticasone propionate nasal spray and other glucocorticosteroids, oral eucalyptus pin and other mucus drainage agents, montelukast and other leukotriene receptor antagonists. If conservative treatment is not effective, surgical treatment is feasible.
After sleeping with nasal congestion, you need to actively seek medical treatment, systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
