Cork in the nose - a trifle, but unpleasant!

How many little things still prevent us from enjoying life! Some of them are many people and will not be called a disease - so, an unpleasant symptom, nothing more. But are there any symptoms without disease? After all, any failure in the normal operation of the body indicates that something is wrong. Take the crusts in the nose - they can not arise from neither, nor from this. Or, still, can?

Dense and dry crusts in the nose often accompany dry coryza. With this form of rhinitis (it can still be diagnosed as atrophic or subatrophic), there are practically no excretions from the nose, or they are minimal. On the contrary, the nose is distinctly dry and unpleasant burning just under these crusts. With catarrhal diseases, these manifestations are usually unrelated, although in the usual runny nose in the nose can sometimes also form. More often dry rhinitis is a consequence of frequent irritations of the mucous membrane, which can be caused by dry air, sudden climate changes, dustiness of the room, the effect of various substances, and a number of ailments - from stomach diseases to nervous disorders. Dry rhinitis is chronic, and in addition to crusting and unpleasant sensations, it can lead to bleeding, difficulty breathing and even a partial loss of smell. All this - to the question of symptoms without disease.

The drier the mucous, the denser "crusts" to it, the more they itch and itch, causing an irresistible desire to dig them out. Often when removing such a "goat" there is bleeding or just bloody discharge. Symptoms of dry cold may increase with a sharp change in temperature or with a long stay in a horizontal position (lays the side on which the person sleeps).

What to do if the "crusts" grow in the nose? Treatment, mainly, is based on neutralization of harmful factors. At a minimum, both at work and at home, one should often ventilate the room, clean regularly, wipe the dust. Of course, if dry rhinitis caused some other disease, it is necessary to treat it.

With the same crusts have to fight locally, mainly, facilitating their departure by softening with the use of various ointments and oils. The main thing is that the ointment does not contain corticosteroids, irritating or drying substances. The simplest remedy is the usual olive oil, and it can be apricot, or sea-buckthorn, or even refined sunflower. It can be buried in the nose, not strongly tipping the head, or laying the cotton balls soaked in oil - it's good if they stay in the nose about half an hour.

There are quite a few recipes from the "bins" of traditional medicine, which help to effectively cure crusts in the nose. For example, inhaling a fine powder from a dry sea kale chopped in a coffee grinder - just not too deep, so that the powder does not go further than the nose. You can make drops of three tablespoons of onion crushed onion, a quarter of a glass of boiled water and mixed with half a teaspoon of natural honey. Another method is to dip menthol oil into the nostrils, and apply warm, cooked, unpeeled potatoes to the wings of the nose and keep them until they cool down completely.

For the prevention of dry rhinitis it is useful to wash the nose with herbal infusions or a solution of sea salt.

But the picture would be incomplete, not mentioning the lake - another disease in which crusts form in the nose. Its characteristic symptoms, in addition to crusts, are a specific unpleasant odor and atrophy of the skeleton of the nasal concha, which results in the patient losing his sense of smell almost completely. The etiology of this disease has not been fully established; Its infectious origin has been refuted, but at the same time it is obvious that some external factors cause the lake. To treat this unpleasant disease, you need to contact an ENT specialist.
