What are the symptoms of rhinitis and pharyngitis?
Nasalitis and pharyngitis are two different diseases with varying symptoms. Typically, the specific symptoms of nasalitis and pharyngitis can be analyzed based on the specific symptoms of the diseases and related examinations. If discomfort symptoms occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly to avoid aggravating the condition.
1. Nasalitis: It is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections that lead to inflammation of the nasal mucosa, resulting in congestion, swelling, and exudation of the nasal mucosa. Since the nasal cavity is connected to the throat, it can irritate the throat, causing pharyngitis and symptoms such as nasal congestion, nasal itching, runny nose, and sneezing.
2. Pharyngitis: It is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections, inhalation of excessive dust, harmful gases, chemicals, or a weakened immune system. It can cause dryness, congestion, and swelling of the pharyngeal mucosa, leading to symptoms such as a sensation of a foreign body in the throat, sore throat, and throat itching. Due to increased nasal secretions, it may also cause symptoms such as coughing.
1. Nasalitis: Examination can be performed at the ENT department of the hospital. Anterior rhinoscopy can reveal whether there is congestion, swelling, and exudation of the nasal mucosa. At the same time, it can observe whether there are foreign bodies or clear nasal mucus in the nasal cavity.
2. Pharyngitis: Examination can be performed at the ENT department or internal medicine department of the hospital. Oral pharyngeal examination can observe whether there is congestion, swelling, and secretion exudation of the pharyngeal mucosa. If pharyngitis is diagnosed, lymphatic follicular hyperplasia in the throat can also be observed.
3. Others: Blood tests can also be performed to make a definitive diagnosis. If the condition is caused by bacterial infection, an increase in white blood cell count and neutrophil count in the blood test can be observed. Additionally, the size and shape of the tonsils on both sides of the throat can be observed to determine if it is acute tonsillitis.
