Rhinorrhea in adults and children: signs, how to treat with drugs?

If a common cold is called rhinitis (Greek rhino – nose), then a symptom such as rhinorrhea is manifested by an intense release of liquid and almost transparent nasal secretions that literally flow from the nose (Greek rhoia – stream).

Color of nasal discharge: yellow to black

The shade and color of nasal discharge can be considered a specific diagnostic sign that allows one to quickly assume the nature, stage of inflammation and its nature - bacterial or viral.

Sneezing

Among the unconditional reflexes that are inherent from birth, one of the body's defense reactions is sneezing - a strong, sudden, uncontrolled release of air from the lungs through the nasopharynx, which occurs when the nasal mucosa is irritated.

Frequent sneezing

Frequent sneezing can be the cause of both a common allergy and a serious illness. In general, this process is a normal reflexive protective reaction.

Itchy nose

Itching in the nose can bother a person with colds, when inhaling dust or other small particles, with allergies, etc.

Dry nose

If you suffer from constant dryness in your nose, you should keep in mind that your chances of catching an airborne infection are almost 100%.

Treatment for nosebleeds

The most common cause of nosebleeds in adults is arterial hypertension. Nosebleeds most often occur against the background of a hypertensive crisis, which requires the appointment of hypotensive therapy.

Symptoms of a nosebleed

Most nosebleeds are one-time and can be stopped with conservative treatment. Recurrent - these are bleedings that repeat in a limited time period, disrupting the general condition of the patient and requiring treatment in an ENT hospital, Habitual - these are bleedings that repeat several times a year over a long period of time.

Causes and pathogenesis of nosebleeds

Depending on the causes of occurrence, nosebleeds are divided into post-traumatic (including surgical trauma) and spontaneous. Spontaneous nosebleeds are a symptom of various pathological conditions and diseases, which can be both local and general in nature.

Nosebleed

Most cases of nosebleeds occur from the vessels located on the nasal septum. In relatively young people (under 35 years old), nosebleeds may occur from a vein located behind the columella (septum) of the nasal vestibule.
