Having rhinitis with phlegm in the mouth and unclear speech may be related to chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, atrophic rhinitis, cleft palate with rhinitis and other diseases. According to the cause of the disease and the extent of the disease, we need to choose general treatment, medication and surgical treatment to improve the symptoms.
1. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis: it is characterized by limited or diffuse hyperplasia and hypertrophy of mucosa, submucosa and even bone. Performance of nasal congestion, occlusive nasal sound, nasal mucus is not much mucous or mucopurulent, nasal discharge backflow leads to phlegm in the mouth to speak unclear. First mometasone furoate nasal spray and other glucocorticoids nasal spray. Ineffective surgical treatment to remove part of the inferior turbinate tissue to improve ventilation.
2. Atrophic rhinitis: commonly seen in atrophic rhinitis caused by serious causes such as nasopharyngeal cancer after radiotherapy, there may be sticky mucus in the mouth, and the speech is unclear with open nasal sound. Zinc, iron and other trace elements and multivitamins can be supplemented appropriately. Use compound menthol nasal drops, warm saline nasal rinsing. If the effect of conservative treatment is unsatisfactory, it is feasible to bury the nasal cavity under the mucous membrane.
3. Cleft palate with rhinitis: this disease is caused by both genetic and environmental causes. Because the palatopharynx cannot be closed, the mouth and nose are connected, and there is obvious open nasal sound. When accompanied by rhinitis, the nasal mucus may flow back into the mouth, and there is also the manifestation of unclear speech. Surgical repair of the cleft palate is often needed to improve the symptoms on top of treatment for different types of rhinitis.
When you have rhinitis with phlegm in the mouth and unclear speech, you need to actively seek medical attention, systematic examination to clarify the diagnosis, and follow the doctor’s instructions to standardize the treatment.
