There are many reasons for stuffy nose and runny nose. How should it be treated? Experts from Quanzhou Otolaryngology Hospital said: Frequent nasal congestion and runny nose may be caused by rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal polyps, turbinate hypertrophy and deviated nasal septum. But what happened specifically has been checked and confirmed by the regular hospital. Rhinitis-nasal congestion and runny nose are mainly caused by nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, headache and dizziness. But these rhinitis symptoms alone can't diagnose rhinitis, and it depends on the otolaryngologist for detailed examination. Sinusitis-stuffy nose, runny nose, yellow and sticky nose, unpleasant smell, poor sense of smell, headache, severe pain in the affected area, fever, bitter taste, dry throat, irritability, red tongue, yellow coating and rapid pulse. Nasal polyps-cause nasal congestion, runny nose 1, persistent nasal congestion, nasal congestion is due to poor capillary circulation, leading to nasal congestion, decreased sense of smell, nasal obstruction, sleep snoring, mouth breathing. 2. There may be runny nose, headache, tinnitus, stuffy ears and hearing loss. 3, mucinous polyp, quite like peeled grapes or fresh lychee meat, the surface is smooth and bright, pink, and there are thin bands mostly from the middle nasal meatus, which are soft and active. 4. Hemorrhagic polyp (less) has smooth surface, congestion, soft texture and easy bleeding. 5. Fibrous polyp is grayish white with smooth surface, and it is not easy to bleed when it is solid. 6. Multiple polyps often come from ethmoid sinus, and a single polyp often grows from maxillary sinus and falls into the posterior nostril, which is called "posterior nostril polyp". 7. The nasal polyp becomes bigger and bigger, and if it is not treated for a long time, it can lead to the widening of the back of the nose and form a "frog nose". Turbinate hypertrophy-causing nasal congestion and runny nose 1. Heavy nasal congestion, mostly persistent, often open mouth to breathe, decreased sense of smell. 2. Nose is thick, mostly mucus or purulent. Because of runny nose, it irritates the throat, causing cough and phlegm. 3. When the hypertrophic middle turbinate compresses the nasal septum, it can cause the anterior ethmoidal nerve separated by the ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve to be compressed or inflamed, leading to irregular seizures.
