Chronic ear, nose and throat infections, such as chronic sinusitis, chronic osteoporosis and chronic ear and ear disease, have many negative effects on the quality of life of patients. The long-term management of these chronic infections is essential to control symptoms, prevent complications and improve the quality of life of patients. The following are effective long-term management strategies:
I. Disease surveillance and assessment
Symptoms: The patient should develop a habit of recording daily symptoms, including the frequency, severity and duration of symptoms such as nasal plugs, flue aldicarb, osteoporosis, ear pain, hearing change, cough. This helps doctors to keep abreast of the progress of the disease and adjust the treatment programme in a timely manner. For example, chronic snotlout can record the colour, mass, and presence of headaches, facial stress, etc.
Periodic review: Periodic examination of the ear, nose and throat, as recommended by the doctor, usually every three to six months. By means of examination such as nose endoscopy, larynx, earscopes, etc., doctors can directly observe the recovery of the pathological tract, assess the extent of inflammation and detect possible complications such as nasal flesh and increased hearing loss due to mid-heartitis. At the same time, relevant laboratory tests, such as blood protocol, nose CT scans (as required by the condition) can be conducted in order to obtain a full picture of the situation.
Drug treatment management
1. Regulation of medications: strict adherence to the medical treatment programme prescribed by a doctor and timely and proportionate treatment. For chronic nasal inflammation, the most commonly used drugs include sugar-coated hormonal (e.g., mussels of thorium acetate) which reduces the response to nasal muscular inflammation; antibiotics (used when bacterial infections are identified), which require a sufficient amount of treatment to completely remove the fungus; and muscular agonists (e.g., aluminum aluminum aluminum intestine capsule), which helps to dilute and remove the secretion in the nasal cavity and in the nasal cavity. Chronic osteoporosis can be used by chronic osteoporosis patients (e.g., compost slurry solution), swirl (e.g., watermelon frost) etc. in order to mitigate larvae disorders. Chronic mercuric infections may require the use of drip-drops (e.g., oxyfluza) to control infections during inflammation. Patients are not allowed to reduce their own doses or to stop them, so as not to affect the effectiveness of treatment or to lead to repeated cases.
2. Drug adjustment: During long-term treatment, the doctor adjusts the medication to the patient ‘ s symptoms, review results, etc. If the treatment of a drug is ineffective, the doctor may replace the drug or adjust the dose. For example, if the symptoms are not clearly mitigated after a period of time by the use of sugar-coated hormones, joint use of oral antigens (e.g., chlorrect) may be considered to further mitigate the inflammation response; in the case of chronic mid-ear and ear disease patients, the long-term use of antibiotic drips may require the replacement of more sensitive antibiotics based on the results of drug sensitivity tests.
III. Lifestyle adjustments
Dietary management: Maintaining a balanced diet with more foods enriched with vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, such as fresh fruit (Orange, Lemon, kipper, etc.), vegetables (Bish orchid, spinach, carrots, etc.), nuts (Almonds, walnuts, etc.), which contribute to increased immunity and mucous membrane restoration. To avoid the consumption of spicy, greasy, irritating and overheated foods and to reduce the irritation of ear, nose and throat mucous membranes. For example, people suffering from chronic oscillitis should be less likely to eat chili, peppers, fried food, etc., in order to avoid exacerbating the symptoms of larvae.
2. Environmental control: Avoid exposure to allergies and irritating substances such as pollen, dust, fumes, chemical gases, etc., to the extent possible. In the pollen season, minimize outing time and wear masks when going; keep indoor air fresh, with air cleaners and regular clean air-conditioning filters; and avoid long stays in high air pollution environments. For chronic and allergy cases, good environmental control can effectively reduce the incidence of disease. In addition, care is taken to maintain appropriate indoor humidity, with a general humidity control of 40 – 60 per cent appropriate, which can be adjusted with a wetner or dehumidifier to prevent the nasal cavity and larynx mucous membranes from being too dry or damp to maintain the normal physiological function of the mucous membrane.
Nasal cavity and throat care: good nasal cavity and throat care habits. For nasal cavity care, the nasal cavity can be washed with physico-saline or physico-water, one or two times a day, helping to remove the secretions, allergies and bacteria in the nasal cavity and to reduce nasal muscular inflammation. The correct nasal rinsing method is to lean forward, lower head, gently insert a washer ‘ s head into the nose of one side, squeeze the scrubber, slow the salt water into the nostrils and flow out of the other. With regard to throat care, appropriate quantities of water can be provided and the throat kept wet; over-utilized throats can be avoided, such as long speaking, singing, etc.; oral hygiene can be observed, after meals can be rinsed in time and properly brushed, and oral and throat infections can be prevented.
IV. Immunization regulation and prevention
Increased immunity: Increased health and increased immunity through appropriate physical exercise. Suitable sports include walking, jogging, yoga, swimming, etc., with a minimum of 3-5 per week for more than 30 minutes each. Sport promotes blood circulation, enhances body resistance and helps prevent the recurrence of chronic infections in ear, nose and throat. It is also important to ensure adequate sleep, which should be around 7 – 8 hours per night, and good sleep contributes to the rehabilitation of the body and normal functioning of the immune system. At the same time, a number of immunosuppressants, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, fungi, etc., can be appropriately supplemented on a case-by-case basis under the direction of a doctor.
2. Vaccination: Vaccination against infectious diseases such as influenza, pneumonia, etc., can be carried out on their own merits. Influenza vaccinations are administered annually, effectively preventing influenza virus infections and reducing ear, nose and throat complications caused by influenza. Pneumonia vaccines reduce the risk of pneumonia and are particularly important for older persons, children and populations with low levels of immunity. Inoculation can increase the body ‘ s immunity to specific pathogens and, to some extent, prevent acute infections in the ear, nose and throat.
The long-term management of chronic ear, nose and throat infections requires the joint efforts of patients and doctors. Patients should actively cooperate with the doctor in his or her treatment, be self-regulated and follow the various elements of the long-term management strategy, while doctors are required to develop individualized treatment programmes based on the patient ‘ s specific circumstances and to assess and adjust them regularly. This is the only way to effectively control chronic ear, nose and throat infections, improve the quality of life of patients and reduce the impact of diseases on their physical and mental health.
