Why is there so much mucus?

We all know that nasal mucus is the excess waste product secreted by the nose. If the nasal mucus is not cleaned in time, it will easily accumulate and may cause rhinitis. We often have a runny nose when we catch a cold in winter, and it is also easy to have nasal mucus when the weather is dry in summer. So, why is there so much nasal mucus sometimes? The following editor will introduce it to you.

Everyone has nasal mucus, and nasal mucus can also be used as an indicator of whether the human body is healthy. There are many reasons for the occurrence of nasal mucus. A moderate amount of nasal mucus is normal, so there is no need to worry. Generally, when you have a cold or your body is chilled, the nasal mucosa will be irritated and produce a large amount of secretions. Nasal mucus is also more likely to appear in dry weather or places with poor air quality. Therefore, if you want to have less nasal mucus, you should ensure your body is healthy, keep warm, avoid catching a cold, and eat light food.

Nasal mucus is mainly caused by the presence of a lot of dust in the surrounding environment, which forms under the barrier of the nose. Of course, nasal mucus is also a product of the nasal mucosa, so you need to pay attention to cleaning it regularly. After all, children's nose resistance is relatively poor, and severe irritation to the nasal mucosa may cause most nasal diseases. You can use a nasal cleaner or moisten the nose with clean water to effectively and conveniently remove the child's nasal mucus. You need to pay attention to a small amount of cleaning at ordinary times, otherwise it will reduce the child's resistance.

Nasal mucus is the normal secretion in the nasal cavity. The amount depends on the weather, humidity, your working and living environment, and yourself. What should you do if your nose is dry and full of mucus? If this happens all year round, it may be due to yourself or the surrounding environment. No matter what the problem is, you should drink more water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and do not dig hard when there is secretion in the nasal cavity. Digging hard will damage the capillaries, and in severe cases it will cause nosebleeds and bacterial infection. It is recommended to drip 0.5%-1% ephedrine saline solution into the nose, 1-2 drops on each side; if dry scab is found, use a medical cotton swab dipped in a little cold boiled water, and drip 1-2 drops into the nostril. After 1 minute, gently rub the nose to push out the dry scab, and then squeeze a little chloramphenicol eye ointment to lubricate the nasal cavity.
