Cold is a very common disease and seems to be a minor disease to many people, but if you have nosebleeds and some cold symptoms that have not been well, or people who usually don’t have cold often, have a cold continuously, you should be alerted and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. This is likely to be nasopharyngeal cancer, because the early symptoms are not obvious, if you wait until the lymph swelling and cause nasal congestion or affect your vision, most of them have already developed to the middle or late stage.
Blood in nasal mucus or coughing up bloody sputum after inhaling back is the early manifestation of nasopharyngeal cancer. These symptoms often occur in the morning after waking up, and are often neglected when the amount is small or mistaken for rhinitis or sinusitis. In addition, nasal congestion is also another early manifestation of nasopharyngeal cancer. Most of the symptoms are unilateral nasal congestion, but when the nasopharyngeal tumor is enlarged, bilateral nasal congestion may appear.
Tinnitus, ear congestion and hearing loss are also early signs of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
Headache is also one of the clinical manifestations of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, mainly due to the invasion of nasopharyngeal tumor into the skull base bone. If a neck lump appears, it is actually a metastatic lymph node, which is often misdiagnosed as inflammation. A neck lump that does not shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment or even continues to increase rapidly, especially a painless neck lump with hard texture, poor mobility and multiple fused into a mass, needs to be seen in hospital in time.
In short, if any of the above symptoms occurs, it is necessary to go to hospital for relevant examination in order to exclude the possibility of nasopharyngeal cancer.
