How to Pay Attention to Turbinate Hypertrophy Category: Nasal Disease Specialty Date: March 11, 2011 What should be noted for turbinate hypertrophy? This is something many people are unaware of. Patients with turbinate hypertrophy often experience severe nasal congestion and thick nasal mucus. Many patients think they have a bad cold, but taking cold medicine doesn't help much. In fact, the mistake was made at the initial diagnosis stage. It's better to prevent than to cure, so what exactly should be noted when one has turbinate hypertrophy? Let's consult the experts from the Otolaryngology Department of Chengdu Gospel Ear Nose Throat Specialty Hospital on this issue.
What to Note When Having Turbinate Hypertrophy:
1. Use self-nasal massage techniques. Simultaneously massaging the inner corner of the eyes and the bridge of the nose with both index and middle fingers can effectively prevent the occurrence of rhinitis and improve the condition of chronic rhinitis.
2. Do not forcibly blow your nose when you have a blocked nose, as it may cause the rupture of nasal capillaries leading to nosebleeds, and also prevent bacteria-laden mucus from entering the nasopharynx causing otitis media.
3. Diet should consist of easily digestible food. Avoid raw cold food, smoking, alcohol, spicy and dry irritants. This is something we need to pay active attention to in managing turbinate hypertrophy; do not slack off.
4. Increase physical exercise, strengthen the body, and enhance the body's disease resistance. Persist in washing your face and rubbing your nose with cold water to increase cold resistance. Avoid catching a chill during cold or sudden weather changes, prevent colds, and wear masks when going out.
5. Wash the nasal crust with warm boiled water, then dip a cotton swab in raw honey and apply it to the affected area of the nasal cavity. Do this once daily until there is no pain or itching in the nasal cavity, no secretion or crusting, and the sense of smell is restored.
Experts from Chengdu Gospel Ear Nose Throat Specialty Hospital remind friends that although disease prevention is fundamental, it is more important to timely detect the occurrence of turbinate hypertrophy, thereby enabling further examination and treatment work to be the key.
