Elderly people with runny nose and tinnitus may be caused by allergic rhinitis and upper respiratory tract infection.
1. Allergic rhinitis: after contact with allergens, there are symptoms of nasal itching, sneezing, runny nose and nasal congestion. Allergy leads to edema of the nasal mucosa and nasopharyngeal mucosa, which can cause obstruction of the Eustachian tube pharyngeal opening, which can cause ear stuffiness, paroxysmal tinnitus and other discomforts.
2. Upper respiratory tract infection: If the elderly body immunity and resistance is poor, viruses or bacteria invade the upper respiratory tract, resulting in upper respiratory tract infection, which can lead to nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat, cough, cough and other discomforts. Due to the congestion and swelling of the nasal cavity, nasopharynx, and pharynx mucosa, it will lead to dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, causing ear stuffiness and tinnitus symptoms.
Patients are advised to pay more attention to rest and avoid fatigue. If the elderly runny nose and tinnitus is more serious, timely to the hospital, under the guidance of a professional doctor treatment, to clarify the cause of the disease, according to the cause of the treatment.
