The most appropriate treatment for postnasal drip syndrome depends on the patient’s specific condition, but there is no such thing as the “best” treatment. The treatment of postnasal drip syndrome is generally divided into medication and surgery.
Postnasal drip syndrome refers to the backflow of nasal inflammatory secretions from patients with rhinitis and sinusitis, which flows into the nasopharynx, oropharynx and hypopharynx through the posterior nostril, causing irritation to the pharyngeal mucosa and triggering pharyngeal discomfort, and it is one of the most important causes of chronic cough.
1. Pharmacological treatment: acute rhinitis, sinusitis application of anti-infective drugs to reduce the symptoms of infection, nasal decongestant and nasal spray hormone to reduce the mucosal edema of the nasal cavity and sinuses, open the sinus openings; allergic rhinitis application of antihistamines to reduce the symptoms of allergy, reduce the nasal secretion; the application of mucus drainage to promote the discharge of secretions; nasal rinsing to reduce the amount of secretions.
2. Surgery: For patients with ineffective drug treatment and nasal polyps, functional nasal endoscopic surgery is feasible to remove the lesions and rebuild the ventilation and drainage of the nasal cavity and sinuses to promote the recovery of the physiological function of the lesion mucosa.
If the diagnosis of post-nasal drip syndrome, should go to the regular hospital for relevant examination, please doctor’s judgment to give the appropriate treatment plan.
