What is the nebulization treatment for chronic pharyngitis

Patients with respiratory diseases often encounter nebulization therapy during the treatment process. Nebulization uses professional instruments to disperse the drug into small particles and spray them into the lesions. This helps the drug to better act on the affected area and greatly improves the treatment effect. With the continuous improvement of nebulizer equipment, nebulizer therapy technology has become more and more mature and popular.

Chronic pharyngitis is caused by chronic inflammation of the throat or stimulation by spicy food, and may cause discomfort such as foreign body sensation and excessive phlegm. Nebulization can have a local anti-inflammatory effect.

There are three main types of nebulizers currently used for medical or home nebulization treatment: one is an air compression nebulizer, one is an ultrasonic nebulizer, and the other is a mesh nebulizer. The choice of which instrument to use for treatment should be based on the doctor's advice and guidance.

Commonly used drugs for chronic pharyngitis nebulization are Mucosolvan, gentamicin, dexamethasone injection and normal saline. The nebulizer solution was prepared fresh daily. Usually each inhalation lasts 10 to 20 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day, and a course of treatment is 1 to 2 weeks. When inhaling, you must start with a small dose, and then gradually increase the dose after you get used to it, until all the medicine liquid is inhaled. Do not use a large dose at the beginning, because a large amount of cold mist entering the airway rapidly will cause spasm of the airway smooth muscles, leading to worsening of breath holding and breathing difficulties. Patients are advised to use it reasonably under the guidance of local doctors. At the same time, oral anti-inflammatory drugs or Chinese medicine conditioning treatment are needed.

The role of nebulizer therapy

1. Treat respiratory tract infections, eliminate inflammation and edema.

2. Antispasmodic.

3. Thin sputum and help expectoration.

Precautions for nebulization treatment of chronic pharyngitis

Try not to eat half an hour before nebulization inhalation to avoid the mist irritating the airway and causing vomiting during nebulization inhalation. Also, do not let the atomized liquid enter your eyes, otherwise it will cause eye discomfort. Also, do not apply oily facial cream. After each inhalation, you can rinse your mouth with saline or warm water. After atomization, the atomizer tank should be cleaned in time. It can be washed with warm water and dried before use.
