A booger in the nose with no airflow can be removed with a nasal rinse or tweezers, but to avoid reoccurrence, the cause should be treated. Common causes include atrophic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, etc., which can be relieved by general treatment, medication and surgery.
1. Atrophic rhinitis: atrophy or degenerative changes in the nasal mucosa can lead to the formation of blood crusts in the nasal cavity, affecting ventilation. Pay attention to light diet, supplement all kinds of nutrients. Vitamin flush therapy can be used to supplement vitamin A, B, C, D, E. Local use of compound peppermint oil nose drops is conducive to lubricating the mucosa and promoting mucosal blood circulation. Nasal drops with glucose can stimulate the secretion of mucosal glands.
2. Chronic rhinitis
(1) Chronic simple rhinitis: hormonal nasal sprays such as fluticasone propionate can be used locally to reduce secretion of secretions, thus reducing the formation of boogers. In addition, decongestants such as ephedrine can be combined to help contract the nasal mucosa and improve ventilation.
(2) Hypertrophic rhinitis: if the effect of the above medication is unsatisfactory, plasma radiofrequency ablation is feasible to eliminate the hypertrophic turbinate.
3. Chronic sinusitis: pay attention to quit smoking and drinking, avoid contact with allergens. Acute episodes of cefuroxime and other antibiotics should be used to control the infection. In addition, using the above glucocorticoid spray nasal is conducive to improving sinus mucosal inflammation, reduce the formation of boogers. If the effect of drugs is not good or there are anatomical abnormalities, endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery is feasible to restore the smooth drainage of the sinus openings.
It is recommended that patients consult a doctor in time to check the cause of the disease, and take the above drugs under the guidance of a professional doctor.
