What is it called when both nasal congestion (rhinitis) and pharyngitis occur simultaneously?
The concurrent occurrence of rhinitis and pharyngitis refers to suffering from both nasopharyngitis and pharyngitis, which may be caused by diseases such as acute upper respiratory tract infection, acute tonsillitis, acute laryngopharyngitis, etc. It is recommended to promptly visit the ENT department of the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. Through blood routine, visual inspection, laryngoscope, and other relevant examinations, the condition can be clarified, and active cooperation with the doctor's treatment is essential.
1. Acute upper respiratory tract infection: It may be due to bacterial or viral infection of the body, leading to acute inflammation in the nasal cavity and throat. If rhinitis and pharyngitis occur simultaneously, the symptoms in the nasopharyngeal region may be similar and difficult to distinguish. It is recommended to use drugs such as Amoxicillin Capsules and Cefaclor Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.
2. Acute tonsillitis: Due to changes in temperature, the body's immunity may decrease, allowing viruses and bacteria to invade the body and cause non-specific inflammation of the tonsils, leading to acute tonsillitis. If rhinitis and pharyngitis occur simultaneously, the symptoms of tonsillitis may be similar and difficult to distinguish. It is recommended to use drugs such as Roxithromycin Capsules and Cefixime Capsules under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Acute laryngopharyngitis: If the mucosal membranes of the throat become congested and swollen due to viral infection, the virus can invade the mucosal membranes of the throat and its surrounding tissues, causing acute inflammation of the submucosal tissue and its lymphatic tissue. If rhinitis and pharyngitis occur simultaneously, the symptoms in the throat region may be similar and difficult to distinguish. It is recommended to use drugs such as Aciclovir Tablets and Pudilan Xiaoyan Oral Liquid under the guidance of a doctor.
4. Other diseases: For individuals with rhinitis and pharyngitis, having nasopharyngitis and pharyngitis simultaneously can affect each other's symptoms, making the diseases more difficult to cure. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and use drugs such as Budesonide Inhalation Suspension under the guidance of a doctor. In daily life, when experiencing rhinitis or pharyngitis, it is recommended to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as chili and spicy hotpot. Instead, eat fresh vegetables and fruits like spinach and apples, and develop good sleep habits to ensure sufficient sleep time.
