What’s wrong with the extra sticky snot?

A particularly sticky nasal discharge suggests that the patient may be suffering from rhinitis and sinusitis. Clinically, for this condition, patients are advised to go to rhinology clinic for nasal endoscopy, and at the same time, sinus CT examination can be checked to see the condition of the patient’s nasal cavity and sinuses. This condition is most commonly known as sinusitis, and clinical management suggests that patients drink more water, which can thin out the sticky nasal mucus. It is recommended to do saline rinsing of the nasal cavity, three times each time. The rinsing can thin out the nasal mucus and promote a large amount of nasal mucus to come out, thus facilitating the recovery of the disease. Such patients are recommended to take oral mucus promoter, which can promote the discharge of nasal mucus and the recovery of mucous membrane cilia in the nasal cavity and sinuses. Patients are advised to use nasal spray hormones to reduce the inflammatory response of the nasal mucosa. In patients like these, if the patient has pus-yellow nasal discharge, suggesting an infection, antibiotics can be taken for a short time to promote the recovery of the disease. In this case, if the patient has a particularly long history and repeated medication is ineffective, the clinic can take surgical treatment.
