It is well known that colds cause runny noses. But why do some people still have a runny nose after recovering from a cold? Runny nose during a cold is called acute rhinitis. At this time, the nasal mucosa becomes congested and swollen, and the increased glandular secretions form nasal mucus. It is clear water at first, and gradually turns into purulent mucus after 3 to 5 days, and can be cured after 1 to 2 weeks. If acute rhinitis recurs, the nasal mucosa will be congested, swollen or even thickened for a long time, which is chronic rhinitis, and you will often have a runny nose.

If there is mucus in the nose, ask the child to blow it out by himself. The correct way to blow your nose is to hold one nostril and blow it side by side. At the same time, it must be performed when the nasal cavity is unobstructed, otherwise the mucus in the paranasal sinus will be difficult to blow out, and the purulent mucus in the nasal cavity can enter the paranasal sinus and the Eustachian tube, causing otitis media.

Intranasal drops of vasoconstrictors such as ephedrine can reduce mucus, but such drugs should not be used by patients with atrophic rhinitis. When dripping medicine, prevent the liquid from flowing into the mouth, because the child will feel the bitter taste and will not let you drip medicine again. At the same time, in order to ensure that the medicine drips evenly into the nasal cavity and does not flow out quickly, the correct medicine dripping posture must be adopted. For sinusitis with excessive nasal discharge, you can go to the hospital for replacement therapy or puncture irrigation treatment
