How to treat children's enlarged nasal concha?

Turbinate hypertrophy is a very common disease, usually discovered due to chronic rhinitis, but many people do not know the specific symptoms of turbinate hypertrophy. Therefore, they do not receive timely treatment. Turbinate hypertrophy can occur at any age, and children are no exception. Below are some common symptoms and treatments that I have collected for you. Let’s take a look.

Turbinate hypertrophy refers to long-term inflammatory stimulation of the nasal concha, including long-term chronic diseases, weak body resistance, long-term stimulation from tobacco and alcohol, upper respiratory tract lesions and other reasons. Long-term use of ephedrine solution or nasal drops can also cause edema of the nasal concha mucosa, followed by hyperplasia of fibrous tissue and thickening of the mucosa. If the mucosal edema lasts for a long time, it may even cause hyperplasia of the periosteum, bone tissue or hypertrophy of the nasal bones.

Symptom 1: Severe nasal congestion, often persistent, frequent mouth breathing, and decreased sense of smell.

Symptom 2: Thick nasal discharge, mostly mucous or mucopurulent. Due to postnasal discharge, the throat is irritated and causes coughing and excessive sputum.

Symptom three: The mucosa is swollen, pink or purple, with an uneven surface, or segmented or mulberry-shaped, especially at the front end of the inferior turbinate and its free edge. There is no obvious depression when the probe is pressed lightly, but it feels hard to the touch.

Treatment of nasal hypertrophy:

Simple medication for children's enlarged nasal concha can relieve symptoms in a short period of time, but it cannot completely cure the disease. Cryosurgery, laser, microwave, partial inferior turbinate resection, etc. are very dangerous, with great pain, bleeding, and trauma. They can also affect the normal structure of the nasal mucosa and the physiological function of the nasal cavity.

The ultra-minimally invasive technology mainly used in the treatment of turbinate hypertrophy is "American Donier Low-Temperature Plasma Ablation", which uses the energy generated by high-frequency plasma to quickly decompose proteins. It is especially effective in the treatment of nasopharyngeal diseases and is original in local lesion ablation, coagulation and hemostasis.

The above article introduces the treatment methods of nasal concha hypertrophy in detail. Now everyone should have a preliminary understanding. Children are the center of a family. If a child feels unwell, parents are most worried. Therefore, if a child feels unwell, timely treatment is necessary to avoid side effects.
