What should I do if I have hypertrophic pharyngitis

Because the occurrence of hypertrophic pharyngitis can have a great impact on our health, it is generally recommended that if patients find this disease, they must pay attention to correct understanding and master the correct treatment methods, including microwave therapy, freezing and laser treatment methods. In daily life, they should pay attention to rest and avoid fatigue.

1. Treatment

1. Microwave therapy and ultrasonic atomization

Generally speaking, most patients with chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis are cured after two courses of microwave therapy. However, the cure rate of chronic hypertrophic pharyngitis was low after two courses of ultrasonic atomization treatment.

2. Other treatments

There are chemical drugs or electrocoagulation, freezing or laser therapy, etc. Chemical drugs often use 20% silver nitrate solution to cauterize enlarged lymph follicles. Electrocoagulation is rarely used nowadays due to its many side effects. Laser or plasma radiofrequency ablation is now commonly used to cauterize the posterior pharyngeal wall lymph follicles, which has the advantages of simple operation, less pain, no bleeding and good efficacy.

2. Prevention

1. Avoid overwork and ensure normal rest time.

2. Emotionally, avoid being too nervous, depressed, or irritable, etc.

3. Pay attention to more appropriate exercise to avoid weakening the body's resistance to disease, making it easy to be invaded by external pathogenic factors, causing pharyngeal inflammation to persist and the condition to worsen.

4. Other matters needing attention

If you are in the habit of breathing with your mouth open, or have an involuntary dry cough, it will aggravate the inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa and be very detrimental to its repair. Smoking is extremely harmful to the pharynx, so people with chronic pharyngitis must quit smoking.

5. Avoid eating overly hot, cold, or spicy food, or drinking strong alcohol or tea.

This is to prevent the pharyngeal mucosa from being in a state of congestion frequently, which would aggravate the symptoms of pharyngeal discomfort.

6. Eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, as well as foods rich in collagen and elastin

For example, pig's trotters, fish, milk, beans, animal liver, lean meat, etc. Rinse your mouth with light salt water in the morning and evening. After rinsing your mouth, you may want to drink a glass of light salt water to sterilize, clean and moisten the throat, improve the environment of the throat and prevent bacterial infection.
