Burning and sore throat, nasal congestion, all this suggests that an inflammatory process develops in the nasopharynx.
But how to eliminate pain in the nasopharynx and why does it occur?
Nasopharynx hurts: causes and symptoms
Very often, diseases of the nasopharynx, namely the throat and nose, occur together. After all, all the upper paths are interconnected, and if one part becomes ill, then it will certainly affect the other. If harmful bacteria or infections get into the nasopharynx, they will usually pass to the throat and nose. But what are the symptoms to determine that the disease is associated specifically with the nasopharynx?
Symptoms
Dry mucous membranes
The main symptom that must be taken into account is dryness in the nose and throat. When the patient breathes, he feels pain, constantly burning and tickling in the throat.
Allocations and nasal congestion
Another sign of the disease is an abundant secretion, as well as nasal congestion.
Pain
When talking, or at the time of swallowing, pain occurs.
Breathing difficulties and headache
To all of the above symptoms, headache, hoarseness subsequently joins, breathing becomes difficult, and the nose swells.
If at least one symptom occurs, treatment should be started as soon as possible. After all, if you do not cure diseases of the nasopharynx at the first stage of appearance, then they can go into the chest, as a result, the bronchi and lungs will suffer.
Causes of the disease:
Cold food
Problems with the nasopharynx are often associated with cold food. Indeed, as a result of this temperature, the development of inflammatory processes occurs.
Hypothermia
You can get sick if there is hypothermia, the limbs or the head freeze.
Overstrain of the vocal cords
Diseases of the nasopharynx are often associated with the fact that a person has to talk a lot, that is, his vocal cords are overstrained. If you talk a lot in the cold, then the risk of getting sick will increase several times.
Nasopharynx pain: treatment
It is necessary to treat pain in the nasopharynx delicately and accurately, since with improperly selected treatment, the situation can only worsen. But how to treat pain in the nasopharynx? Are there any drugs to relieve pain in it?
If doctors have determined that the disease is viral in nature, then medications should be antiviral. In the case of a bacterial infection, bacterial preparations. It must be remembered that bacterial drugs can not fight diseases of a viral nature, and vice versa.
However, we can distinguish those drugs that are part of the main course of treatment, they are interchanged. These include clavulant, clinamycin.
With bacterial tonsillitis, experts prescribe systemic antibiotics. For respiratory diseases, it is necessary to take anti-inflammatory drugs that give an analgesic effect, for example: paracetamol, ibuprofen, aspirin. Adolescents and children should never take aspirin.
In acute respiratory infections, experts prescribe antihistamines that can block the action of histamine.
In order to "locally" relieve the course of the disease, you need to use the following:
1. Fusafungin is an antimicrobial agent used to relieve symptoms of inflammation in the upper respiratory tract.
2. Drops or nasal sprays, which include antibacterial components - polymyxin or neomycin. It is important to know that such drugs can be used for a maximum of 7 days.
3. To relieve severe pain in the nasopharynx, sucking tablets, aerosols, various liquids for rinsing, inhalation are used.
Some medical institutions have recently begun to practice vaccine preparations, but it is impossible to select them yourself, and even more so to use at home.
