What to do about nasopharyngitis

Nasopharyngitis can be categorized into acute nasopharyngitis and chronic nasopharyngitis, which need to be treated with appropriate medication or physiotherapy according to the cause and symptoms. 1. Acute nasopharyngitis: choose antibiotics according to the result of drug sensitivity test or use broad-spectrum antibiotics such as amoxicillin and ampicillin for treatment, severe cases must be given intravenously, and glucocorticosteroids such as dexamethasone should be used appropriately. Consume fresh fruit juices or warm drinks, vitamin supplements. Topical ephedrine or hydroxymetazoline and streptomycin nasal drops can be used for treatment. 2. Chronic nasopharyngitis: treatment should first find out the cause of the disease. Strengthen exercise, supplement nutrition, drink more water, improve body resistance. Local hydrogen chloride can be used for rubbing, 5% to 10% silver nitrate can be applied to the nasopharynx, and 3% streptomycin drops and compound peppermint oil drops, cod liver oil and other nasal drops can be used. Physical therapy such as microwave and ultrashort wave electrotherapy can be used if necessary. If you suffer from nasopharyngitis, it is recommended that patients go to the hospital in time, follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the use of medication and treatment, so as to avoid adverse consequences and delay leading to the deterioration of the disease.
