Patient's question:
I have suffered from sinusitis for many years, which has been very painful. It gets even worse in winter, especially when I take naps at night. Recently, not only is my nose painful, but my throat is also sore. My colleague told me that my symptoms are very similar to those of nasopharyngeal cancer.Doctor's answer:
Swallowing difficulty: Early symptoms are not typical and are often accompanied by symptoms such as excessive saliva production and discomfort when swallowing dry food. Generally, patients can eat regular food, which does not affect their health. At times, there may be a sensation of stagnation when swallowing dry food. The recurrence of symptoms is often related to emotional disturbances in the patient. Weight loss. Since esophageal cancer severely interferes with a patient's daily diet, their weight may rapidly decline, and severe cases may present with cachexia. This is also a common symptom of esophageal cancer. In fact, having nasopharyngeal cancer is not (terrible), and patients should believe that they can overcome the illness. As long as the condition is detected early and timely treatment is provided, the chances of stabilizing the condition and recovering are very high.
