Nasopharyngitis is caused by chronic inflammation in the nasal cavity of the patient, which leads to sore throat, burning sensation, rhinorrhea, and other related symptoms at the junction of the posterior nostrils and the nasopharynx. Nasopharyngitis is a borderline disease between pharyngitis and rhinitis. The primary treatment methods include antibiotic anti-inflammatory symptomatic treatment and steroids to reduce mucosal edema. Additionally, patients with rhinitis should avoid smoking, drinking alcohol, and consuming spicy and irritating foods in daily life to prevent worsening of nasopharyngitis symptoms. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
