When he went to the hospital, the result was nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Now let me talk about the symptoms and nursing of nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

What are the symptoms and nursing of nasopharyngeal carcinoma

First: migraine. Migraine is generally the early stage of nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the most detectable symptom. More than half of the patients had first symptoms. Headache location is not fixed, can be uninterrupted pain, late can eat persistent migraine, location can be fixed. The reason may be that the cancerous tissue invaded the trigeminal nerve endings in the early stage.

Second: blood in the nose. There are some patients with early symptoms of blood in the nasal discharge. At first, they thought it was caused by dryness and fire. In fact, it is not. It may be caused by cancer tissue invading the surrounding blood vessels and bleeding in the nasal discharge. Sometimes there will be symptoms of nasal congestion, this is because the tumor is relatively small, and the nasal cavity is relatively narrow, with the growth of the tumor, these symptoms will appear.

Third: the nursing of nasopharyngeal mucosa. Because the nasopharynx mucosa is hyperemia and swelling after irradiation, the nasal mucosa reaction similar to oral mucosa appears. Patients often have dry nasal mucosa, nasal congestion, increased nasal secretions, viscous, serious cases can affect rest and sleep. Therefore, when the climate is dry, put a basin of water in the room to keep a certain temperature, and use clear cod liver oil or compound peppermint oil to drop nose by itself, 34 times a day to protect the nasal mucosa. It's better to learn how to use simple nasopharynx irrigator and commonly used liquid.
