Treatment of bilateral inferior turbinate hypertrophy

As we all know, the nose is an important organ in our body. It is used for breathing and smelling. In addition, it also has the functions of filtering, cleaning, heating, humidification, resonance, reflection, relieving fatigue, immunity, protecting the head, and excreting tears. It can be seen how important it is to our body. Some children in life are often troubled by pediatric nasal concha hypertrophy. Let me introduce to you its causes and prevention and treatment.

Cause: Generally caused by various chronic inflammatory diseases of the nasal cavity. The cilia of the nasal mucosal epithelium fall off and become a stratified cuboidal epithelium. The submucosal layer undergoes edema and then fibrous tissue hyperplasia, causing the mucosa to thicken. Over time, it may become mulberry-like or polyp-like, the periosteum and bone tissue proliferate, and the nasal concha bones may also become enlarged.

Clinical manifestations: (a) Severe nasal congestion, often persistent, frequent mouth breathing, and decreased sense of smell.

(ii) The nasal discharge is thick and often mucous or mucopurulent.

(3) When the enlarged middle turbinate compresses the nasal septum, it can cause compression or inflammation of the anterior ethmoid nerve, which is derived from the ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve. This can cause irregular attacks of frontal pain that radiates to the bridge of the nose and eye sockets. This is called anterior ethmoid neuralgia, also known as anterior ethmoid nerve syndrome.

Treatment method: 1. Control the occurrence of indoor mold and mildew 2. Do not use carpets or feather bedding, keep the room clean and hygienic, reduce indoor dust, keep the room ventilated, and hang clothes to dry frequently 3. Completely kill cockroaches and other pests 4. Keep away from pets 5. Maintain a regular daily routine and keep warm, especially when seasons change, dress appropriately and avoid catching a cold and other stimulation from cold air. 6. Avoid eating any food that can cause allergic rhinitis, and be cautious when eating fish, shrimp, and crab. 7. Quit smoking and drinking 8. Strengthening physical fitness is very important for patients with allergic rhinitis. Pay attention to physical exercise at ordinary times.

I believe that after reading the above article, everyone must have a certain understanding and knowledge about nasal concha hypertrophy in children. If you have any problems in this area, you must seek medical treatment actively. I hope everyone is in good health.
