Question 47: What happens to nasal polyps? Will it worsen in the future? What if it is accompanied by chronic sinusitis?
Answer: Almost 100% of nasal polyps are complicated by chronic sinusitis, generally speaking, nasal polyps have little chance of malignant change. Of course, if you have a nasal polyp, I suggest to get it done.
Question 48: My nose has not been completely healed since I caught a cold 5 months ago, and it doesn’t breathe very well, and now I can’t even smell it. I had a doctor’s visit, but it didn’t get better, so I put it off until now, and now I feel it’s getting worse.
Answer: It may be complicated by sinusitis, so it is not easy to get well. Go to the hospital and take a film to check if this is the problem. If so, I’m afraid that the treatment will have to be strengthened and systematically treated properly. In addition, the causative agent may also be anaerobic bacteria or virus, and medication in this area should be considered.
Question 49: I have chronic sinusitis. I always find it difficult to breathe (as if my nostrils have shrunk), and when inflammation strikes, I have to rely on my mouth to breathe, and it is easy to breathe in cold air, which causes sore throat and colds. I have been taking medicines such as Huo Gao Pill and Rhinitis Kang, but they are not effective. Apart from surgery, can I be cured by medicine? What kind of medicine should I use? Also, I have had tinnitus for almost a year now. Is it related to rhinitis? Or is it due to lack of sleep?
Answer: According to your description, we can tell that your rhinitis must be serious, and if there are nasal polyps, it is impossible to solve the problem without an operation. If it is only sinusitis, it is recommended that you can use a better medicine than Huo Gall Pills and Rhinitis Kang, such as Sinusitis Oral Liquid, Lihua Sinusitis Tablets, which I feel is better than Huo Gall Pills; Genoton Capsules or Mucosolvan Tablets, which are taken to secrete from the surface of the respiratory tract and can dilute pus snot to make it easy to blow. In addition, nasal congestion, then use with 1% furacilin ephedrine nasal drops, the acute phase of the addition of antibiotics. You should avoid catching a cold, as repeated colds can aggravate rhinitis, so beware. If tinnitus is accompanied by a stuffy feeling in the ear, it is caused by the swelling of the nasal mucosa due to rhinitis, which leads to the blockage of the eustachian tube (a tube connecting the ear and the nasal cavity).
Question 50: I have been suffering from chronic sinusitis for nearly 15 years (I am 23 years old). I have had many puncture surgeries between the ages of 13 and 15, and I have been taking medication and injections for a long time, but I have not been cured, and I am very distressed. Some doctors also recommend surgery, but it is said to be very painful and difficult to cure completely. I don’t know if this is the case. Do you have any special medicine or treatment?
Answer: I should say that it is difficult for me to answer with your description alone because I don’t know the extent of your sinusitis. The length of your history and the severity of each attack do not fully explain the problem. If I could have a chance to look at your disease, I would have some sense of it. Let’s put it this way: Do you find your sinusitis very difficult to tolerate? If so, it’s best to have surgery. Of course, sinusitis can come back after surgery. Think about it, a good nose can get sinusitis, let alone a nose with existing sinusitis. But after the surgery, the sinus lesions are cleared, and if you pay attention to it in the future, your nose will also get better. However, without surgery, some lesions are irreversible at a certain point. I don’t know whether your condition is reversible or not, so it’s still up to you to decide what to do. As for medication, I prefer to use oral sinusitis solution, Mucosolvan, and furacilin ephedrine for severe nasal congestion.
