Coughing after vocal polyp surgery may be related to diseases such as anesthetic intubation irritation, acute laryngitis and reflux pharyngitis. According to the cause and degree of disease, general treatment, drug treatment and surgical treatment can be chosen.
1. Stimulation of anesthesia intubation: during the surgery of vocal polyps, the surgical anesthesia intubation will cause stimulation and damage to the airway mucosa, and the inflammatory reaction of the airway mucosa will cause postoperative cough. Generally, it can be improved by itself, or apply inhalation budesonide suspension nebulization treatment.
2. Acute laryngitis: when the vocal polyp surgery, will cause tension and damage to the vocal cord mucosa, in the respiratory airflow stimulation of the traumatic nerve, coughing symptoms can occur. It can be treated by ultrasonic nebulization inhalation with budesonide suspension.
3. Reflux pharyngitis: some patients with vocal polyp surgery are accompanied by reflux pharyngitis, which is easy to cause coughing symptoms when gastric reflux stimulates the pharynx after surgery. On the basis of the above treatment, it can be treated with proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole and gastrointestinal stimulants such as cisapride. If conservative treatment is ineffective, various types of fundoplication can be selected for treatment.
In the case of coughing after vocal cord polyp surgery, you can actively consult a doctor for systematic examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
