Sinusitis, bad smell in the nose

In daily life, various minor illnesses threaten people's health. People usually don't take these minor illnesses seriously, but it is often these minor illnesses that people ignore that will cause serious illnesses. Therefore, no matter how big or small the disease is, we must take it seriously. When people have a cold, they often have a stuffy nose. In severe cases, there will be a foul odor in the nose. If the nose has a bad odor, it may be sinusitis.

1. There are many causes of nasal congestion, such as allergic rhinitis, nasal septum deflection combined with chronic hypertrophic rhinitis, chronic sinusitis, etc. The odor appears because the secretions inside the nose cannot be discharged normally, and the odor is formed inside for a long time. This is mainly considered sinusitis. The general symptoms of chronic sinusitis are: excessive nasal discharge: the nasal discharge is mostly purulent or mucopurulent, yellow or yellow-green in color, with varying amounts, mostly flowing to the throat, with a unilateral foul odor; nasal congestion, which can often cause temporary olfactory impairment; headache, which is often manifested as dull pain or a feeling of heaviness in the head, which is heavier during the day and lighter at night. Currently, there are medications, physical therapy and surgery. However, if sinusitis is more serious, the quickest way is to have open sinus surgery, which can fundamentally solve the problem.

2. The typical symptoms of sinusitis are thick yellow nasal discharge, nasal congestion, headache, etc. . The most common surgery is puncture, which is to drain the thick yellow fluid in the sinuses and then inject anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce inflammation. The advantage of surgery is that it works quickly and symptoms are relieved quickly. The disadvantage is that it is quite painful and can recur. In addition to traditional methods, you can use saline to wash your nose. To clean your sinuses, it is equivalent to slow drainage, which can gradually drain the fluid accumulated in your sinuses. But without the pain of surgery. You can use normal saline. You can rinse your nose yourself or use a nasal rinser. This method is very safe and has no side effects. It takes a longer time to take effect than medication, but for rhinitis without nasal hypertrophy and nasal polyps, persistent nasal washing is very effective.

Selection of nasal irrigation device and steps for nasal irrigation: 1. Nasal irrigation with saline must be strictly carried out in two steps: first clean the nasal vestibule, and then clean the posterior nasal cavity. This is very important. If the nasal cavity is directly rinsed without cleaning the nasal vestibule, the bacteria in the nasal vestibule will be brought into the posterior nasal cavity, which is absolutely not advisable. 2. Nasal irrigation devices are now classified as Class II medical devices in the country. When you purchase a nasal irrigation device, you must purchase one that has a medical device production license and a medical device registration certificate. 3. The manufacturer of nasal rinsers must have complete certificates, including three certificates: business license, tax registration certificate, and organization code certificate. You should be more careful when choosing a nasal rinser manufacturer. 4. The nasal irrigator with the longest sales time and the most sales is a product that has been tested by rhinitis patients for many years. The feedback from patients is the best advertisement.
