Pain in the nose

The occurrence of any pain in the nose indicates a disruption in the work of this body alone. To find out the causes of unpleasant sensations, you should contact an otolaryngologist or traumatologist.

One of the reasons for the appearance of pain in the nose are organ trauma. At the same time violations in the integrity of its tissues are noted.

Pain in the nose, characterized by intensity, can be a consequence of an acute inflammatory process in its adnexal sinuses. In addition, there is a narrowing of the lumen in the body cavity (in some cases, even complete closure), as well as a delay in discharge. Localization of pain is noted in the area of the affected sinus of the nose. With pressure on the sinus wall, it increases.

With ganglionitis of the pterygoid node, patients feel pressing pains in the nose, as well as tenderness in the area of the inner eye angle. The development of the disease is characterized by lesions in the borderline sympathetic trunk. In this case, a combination of the inflammatory process in the frontal sinus with the development of inflammation in other sinuses is noted. If several sites are involved, ganglionitis is defined as a trunculitis, a trocite or a polyglyonite. Depending on the focus of the lesion, symptoms of the disease appear. As a rule, this disease is a consequence of influenza, dysentery, malaria, typhoid, pneumonia, pleurisy and other. To the reasons contributing to its development, include violations in metabolic processes (liver disease or diabetes), neoplasms, as well as intoxication. Infectious ganglionitis is characterized by severe hyperemia, infiltration of nodal tissues, edema.

In neuralgia that affects the nasosorechnic nerve (Charlene's syndrome), there are bouts of pain in the medial eye corner and in the corresponding part of the nose. The occurrence of seizures is mainly observed at night and is accompanied by autonomic disorders of a pronounced nature. These include rhinorrhea, lacrimation, swelling of the nasal mucosa from the side of the lesion. Sometimes it hurts in the nose and on both sides.

Chronic sinusitis is accompanied by a decrease in mental and physical activity. With this disease, the pain in the nose is non-intensive and may be accompanied by unstable headaches.

Soreness accompanies and lesions of skin integuments of the external surface of the organ (furunculosis). In this case, it is of an intense nature and irradiates into the forehead or the temporal region. When touched to the nose, soreness is sharp. Also there is swelling of the organ, redness, constriction of the entrance and tension of the tissues.

Pain sensations can accompany and runny nose (rhinitis). When the mucosa is inflamed, there are also abundant discharge from the body, a decrease in appetite, irritability, disturbances in normal nasal breathing.

Rhinitis is divided into chronic, acute, allergic, hypertrophic rhinitis.

With allergic rhinitis, excessive watery discharge from the nasal cavity, congestion, lacrimation, sneezing, headaches, reddening of the eyes are noted. The causes of this type of rhinitis include the excessive sensitivity of the body to the activity of various allergens that penetrate the nasal mucosa. An allergic rhinitis often occurs from dust, pollen, animal hair.

With hypertrophic rhinitis, dryness of the nasal cavity, difficulty in nasal breathing (obstruction), bleeding, decreased sense of smell, difficulty in blowing out.

In many cases, the occurrence of rhinitis is associated with hypothermia. In this case, the cold also causes microorganisms: bacteria (gonococci, streptococci, staphylococci), viruses (measles, influenza, adenoviruses).
