Identify nasal diseases by looking at nasal snot

Throughout the human body, the nose is a place that can easily suffer, and often two noses suddenly appear for one reason or another. The results can clarify the nature, location and scope of the lesion, and provide the basis for the next symptomatic treatment for the cause.

1. If acute rhinitis recurs, the nasal mucosa is congested and swollen for a long time or even hypertrophic. This is chronic rhinitis. It will be often runny nose, chronic nasal moxibustion nasal snot is mostly mucus nasal snot. The amount can be more or less.

2, allergic rhinitis: for the flow of clear water-like mucus, the amount is more, its water-like mucus contains a large number of eosinophilic white blood cells. It is accompanied by sneezing and nasal itching. It can be a perennial attack. It can also occur seasonally. Patients with allergic rhinitis can have asthma, especially in children. In addition, cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea is also watery. It is a clear, transparent, watery fluid that leaks from the cerebrospinal fluid into the nasal cavity through the frontal sinus, sieve sinus, or sieve plate fistula. It contains glucose and no glycoproteins. If there is watery fluid leaking from the nasal cavity after skull base, sinus trauma, or sinus surgery, the nasal overflow should be immediately collected and sent for qualitative and quantitative analysis of sugar, and the glucose content is above 1.7 mmol/L (30%), then the diagnosis of cerebrospinal fluid is confirmed.

3, chronic sinusitis: mostly mucopurulent secretions. Bilateral or unilateral. Accompanied by nasal congestion. Dizziness. Memory loss, etc. Unilateral sinusitis to consider odontogenic sinusitis, the secretion can be yellowish green, cloudy, and smelly.

4, nasal polyps can also appear clear water snot Infection can be accompanied by runny snot can appear nasal congestion, dizziness, memory loss, etc. Children’s secretion is more vigorous, if there is no other discomfort. It may be caused by cold air stimulation of the nasal cavity. No special treatment is needed. Unilateral nasal congestion with blood in the snot may be caused by foreign bodies in the nasal cavity.

5, yellow watery discharge, to consider the possibility of sinus cysts, need to take sinus X ray or CT film.

6, atrophic rhinitis: mostly seen in young people, because most of the people suffering from this disease smell failure, I can not smell the odor, while others can not stand the odor, often far away from him. Some patients with serious malodor, far from it will smell the odor, so it is called odor rhinitis. It is generally believed that the disease is related to endocrine disorders, malnutrition, genetic factors, and long-term stimulation of purulent secretions when suffering from chronic rhinitis, atrophy of the glands in the nasal cavity, and the formation of a large number of green pus crusts, pus crusts in the protein decomposition, resulting in odor, causing green pus odor nasal discharge.

7.Blood in nasal mucus: it is commonly found in foreign body, stone, ulcer, trauma, fungal sinusitis, malignant tumor of sinus or nasopharynx. It is advisable to perform nasal endoscopy when blood is found in the nose. The cause and location of the bleeding should be clarified. Generally, due to congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa and secondary infection, blood in the nose is found when blowing the nose, which is caused by the rupture of capillaries and disappears on its own with the cure of rhinitis and the improvement of nasal ventilation. Certain atopic inflammatory diseases: such as tuberculosis, syphilis. Infections such as inflammatory granuloma can cause nasal narrowing vasodilatation or nasal mucous membrane erosion resulting in blood in the nose.

8, runny nose when you have a cold is called acute rhinitis, when the cold virus invades the body from the respiratory tract to make people catch a cold, while the virus is active in the nasal cavity, making the nasal mucosa swell, the nose will secrete more extra water or mucus (secretions) to help us get rid of the dead virus naturally. If the originally clear nasal water turns into yellowish snot, it means that the nasal cavity has been attacked by other bacteria or viruses and becomes inflamed, and the yellowish snot is like pus.
