The occurrence of nasal congestion and pharyngitis with yellow cough phlegm is clinically common. It is recommended to consult an ENT doctor promptly. Blood routine, sputum culture, laryngoscopy, and other relevant examinations can help determine the condition, followed by targeted treatment. Common treatment methods include oral medication, nebulization therapy, physical therapy, etc., requiring regular follow-up and observation of the effects.
1. Oral Medication: Commonly used oral medications include traditional Chinese medicines such as Biyan Pian (Nasal Congestion Tablets), Biyuan Shu Oral Liquid (Nasal Congestion Relief Oral Liquid), Yanyan Pian (Pharyngitis Tablets), and Puxiedi Xiaoyan Pian (Pueraria and Scutellaria Tablets). These medications mainly aim to reduce nasal and throat mucosal swelling and alleviate the symptoms of nasal congestion and pharyngitis with yellow cough phlegm. If caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics such as Amoxicillin Capsules or Cefaclor Capsules can be taken for anti-inflammatory treatment.
2. Nebulization Therapy: This involves placing medication in a nebulizer, allowing the ultrasonic waves of the nebulizer to directly act on the mucosal surface of the throat, promoting local blood circulation, reducing throat mucosal swelling, reducing inflammatory secretions, and diluting the sputum to aid in expulsion.
3. Physical Therapy: This involves using physical therapy instruments with appropriate frequencies to treat nasal congestion and pharyngitis through nasal and oral inhalation. This can accelerate blood circulation, moisten the respiratory tract, dilute sputum, and aid in its expulsion.
4. Other Treatments: For nasal congestion and pharyngitis with yellow cough phlegm, mouthwash or saline nasal irrigation can be used to help dilute and remove sputum. Drinking warm water or冰糖雪梨水 (pear and sugar water) can also help alleviate the symptoms of yellow cough phlegm. It is recommended to minimize spicy and stimulating foods and avoid smoking and drinking.
