A runny nose seemingly such a simple disease, and how many troubles it delivers to us... He head hurts, do not want to do anything, and in the nose - a whole revolution. And such a nuisance can fall on us at any time of the year. Rubber - viral disease, you infect or not depends on your immunity. Strong immunity will be able to overcome the infection and the runny nose will not. And a person with a weakened immunity is not enough «Stock reserve» and for long 7 days the nose will turn into «fire hose».
What happens to the nose during a runny nose?
Rubber is a local cold at which the mucous membranes of the nose are inflicted, edema develops. Sharply increases the production of mucus, the mucus overlaps the nasal moves, and we begin to breathe mouth. At the same time, the increased volume of mucus contributes Cleaning the body from toxins. Therefore, the runny nose has also a positive side: Clearing, we purify the apparent sinuses of the nose from the accumulating mucus there.
Do I need at all Treat runny nose? It seems to be no need to spend money on the treatment of a cold - myself will be held in a week. But it does not always happen. If immunity is weakened, a runny nose can go into a chronic shape and then it will almost unrealily get rid of it. In addition, with a runny nurse, inflammation can cross Gaimorov Pazukha (sinusitis), on the frontal sinuses or on the middle ear. And this is much more serious diseases.
When and how to treat runny nose?
Easier total To cure runny nose, when he just starts. Even there is no snot, but just hurts head, forehead and in the nose «twist». In this case, an adult already knows that such symptoms are signs of impending runny nose.
What to do? We go to the pharmacy and buy an antiviral drug. The most popular antiviral medicines - Arbidol (more expensive) and Anaferon (cheaper). If you take Anaferon strictly according to the instructions (1 tablet every half an hour for 2 hours), the symptoms of the cold will disappear almost completely on the same day. But it is impossible to stop the medication, the virus is still alive and may well be revived. Antiviral remedy must be taken within a week, and in the cold season, such drugs can be drunk for a very long time, from one month, to three. The advantage of Anaferon and the similar drugs not only is that they suppress the development of the virus, but also stimulate their own protective forces of the body.
The development of the virus during the runny nose is well suppressed by phytoncides contained in Luke and garlic. At the same time, not necessarily tons to eat onions, it is enough just to cut the bulb in half and how to ride it. In the nose and throat will be burning, it is a completely normal reaction. Of course, do not forget to grind your eyes during this procedure. Children with a cold can be made «Beads» from cloves garlic. You can decompose the sliced onion. And then your leek inhalation will last much longer. The same can be done as the prevention of a cold and other colds. The only thing «But!» - It is not always possible to use onions, because its specific smell is unpleasant.
Nose's aerosols: benefits and harm
Drugs in the form of aerosols most often have a vasoconstrictor action. After applying the aerosol, the vessels are narrowed, the edema subsides and the nose is cleaned from the accumulated mucus. For several hours, a person gets the opportunity to breathe normally. Very great temptation to take advantage of the drug again...
But our site does not advise to get involved in aerosols from a cold, as it has a mass of negative consequences. If you enjoy such aerosols for a long time, you can lose sense of smell, a feeling of taste may change. The mucous membrane of the nose can start constantly dry, and these are new problems, new treatment... So the aerosol is an emergency measure from a cold and it can be used only when you feel completely unbearable. But no more than one or twice a week.
Folk remedies
Instead of aerosol, you can buy drops from a runny nose based on natural oils. During the cold, droplets containing fir or eucalyptus oil helps well. These oils have a bactericidal effect, the absorption of mucus decreases, breathing facilitates. As one of the treatment options is a cold, you can make inhalation with fir oil. The easiest way is the bowl with boiling water, in which 3-5 drops of oil added. Candle with a towel and breathing steam.
During the runny nose, you also need to warm my nose, it takes off swelling well. To do this, you can take a small bag (if there is no bag, you can use a clean baby nose), we have a large salt on a dry frying pan. Pouch with salt put on the bridge and warm. If you do not want to mess with a bag, you can warm the nose with a boiled egg.
Equally important during the runny nose is warm and not to translate. Surely many are known that when a cold appears, it is useful to fall in legs. In addition, you can take warm baths with sea salt, sleep in socks, in which dry mustard.
Among other folk remedies from a cold - warming the chest with potatoes. This is done like this: we cook one big potato in the uniform, cut along, put on a chest several layers of the newspaper, then hot potatoes, and we bite hot with something warm. As potato gradually cools, take out the sheets of the newspaper. Warming will be long, not less than 20 minutes.
To support the immune forces of the body in the fight against the runny nose, the vitamin C is simply necessary. As you know, it is very much in citrus (lemon, orange). Therefore, our site strongly recommends drinking tea with a lemon (and as much as possible), the vitamin is charged. Do not forget about ascorbic acid in the form of a dragee, it is also a good acquaintance since childhood.
No matter how sad, it can not only be a hypothermia. Rubber can be manifestation of allergies on any product, pollen of plants or animal wool. Allergic runny nose can last all year round or occasionally occasionally, during flowering plants-allergen, for example. In such cases, to identify an allergen and prescribe treatment can only an allergist.
That the disease does not take chronic form or even worse - did not give complications, it is necessary to treat a runny nose, in whatever form he has not manifested itself. And most importantly, do not get sick, trying to protect ourselves from any reason for the appearance of a runny nose.
