A person is exposed to many diseases throughout his life. It so happens that an ordinary runny nose does not think to pass, leaving us with such a “present” such an unpleasant consequence, when water constantly flows from the nose. What does it mean? Why is water flowing from the nose? There are several reasons for this behavior of our nose. First, this may be a reaction to the cold. Let's remember the winter - when we go from a frost with a warm room, we immediately begin to sniff. This is completely harmless and no need to worry. Secondly, it can be a runny nose of a mild or more severe degree.
If a common cold is not treated at all, it can eventually develop into sinusitis, which is dangerous for many complications. How to determine that sinusitis appeared? Drawing pains in the forehead and eyebrows, giving to the head, prolonged runny nose with green snot, weakness, fever - all these are signs of sinusitis that has begun. It appears due to frequent colds, as well as a result of allergies and dental diseases. When water flows from the nose, it is always annoying, and to avoid these troubles, you need to eliminate the causes - caries or runny nose.
Also, the occurrence of water in the nose is due to a seasonal allergy, which is scientifically called hay fever. With this disease, most often water flows from the nose in late spring - early summer, when the active flowering of many trees and herbs begins. For some reason, many people consider such a disease to be insignificant and try not to pay attention to it by buying vasoconstrictor drops such as "Naphthyzine". But in vain, because this ailment is insidious and, if untreated, can develop into a more serious disease, such as bronchial asthma. Hay fever, not treated with the right medications, poses problems not only with smell and freedom of breathing, but also with vision, hearing, the female genital area and cerebral circulation, because hypoxia and damage to the brain occur due to a lack of oxygen. Sneezing, a feeling of strong tickling in the throat and nasopharynx, lacrimation is added to the common cold, so allergies cannot be confused with anything else.
Well, and, of course, water flows from the nose due to rhinitis, which, in addition to allergic, can be viral or medication. Viral appears very quickly, as a result of contact with the carrier of the virus (in a public place). In the season of outbreaks of viral infections that occur in the autumn-winter period, you can easily catch this nuisance. Drug rhinitis may occur after taking certain drugs.
How to behave and what to do if water drips from the nose? You can not rub your nose, because after several such manipulations, the skin underneath it will be prone to irritation and inflammation, which will bring you another nuisance in the form of burning and pain. Gently wipe off the discharge with a soft, clean cloth or clean handkerchief. Avoid friction and pressure. If there is a sore or skin cracks under the nose, consult a specialist, he will prescribe a therapeutic ointment and antibiotics, if necessary in this situation.
How to determine what type of rhinitis bothers you? Be sure to go to a competent specialist, ENT doctor or allergist-immunologist, who will collect and record the entire medical history and, based on an examination and some allergy tests, will make a conclusion. A specialist can determine a specific disease even by the color and structure of the nasal mucosa and the type of edema.
If water flows constantly from the nose, you do not need to close your eyes to this, hiding behind a scarf. Urgently consult a competent doctor to identify and block the problem. Do not start the disease and wait for more unpleasant and painful symptoms. Health to you!
