Diagnosis of the disease and its treatment
After listening to the patient, the otolaryngologist sends him for a blood test. It is possible to refer the patient for allergy testing. The person recovers usually within two weeks. However, the disease must be treated, as complications can be very dangerous to health. Nasopharyngitis is treated depending on its origin. An allergic disease is treated by eliminating the allergen itself and drug therapy - antihistamines.
If the disease is infectious in nature, antibacterial therapy is prescribed. In this case, the doctor takes into account the pathogen itself. When body temperature rises, antipyretics are used. Vasoconstrictor drops are used for difficult nasal breathing. However, you should not overuse them, as addiction may occur or the mucous membrane may dry out. If the disease is infectious, the doctor may prescribe physical therapy and drink plenty of fluids.
