Patient's question:
My son is 15 and a half years old. He often makes the sound "gag gag gag" every day, and he has phlegm in his throat (not coughing), especially at night. Is it pharyngitis? About 8 or 9 years ago, we noticed he has allergic rhinitis (allergic to dust mites).Hello, is it pharyngitis? How should it be treated? Additionally, four years ago, we discovered left varicocele, a testicular abscess, and suspected small stones in the testicles. He has a long foreskin, but he refuses to be treated and also refuses to show us. How can this be improved?
Doctor's answer:
Considering that your child's current symptoms may still be caused by chronic pharyngitis. Currently, it is recommended that you try treating it with traditional Chinese medicine. Later on, try to minimize exposure to allergenic dust and reduce the intake of irritating foods. For patients with varicocele, timely treatment can reduce the risk of complications. If left untreated, it may affect fertility. Therefore, patients should take medication promptly and avoid overexertion in daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene.
