What is the reason for a lot of dirt in the nose?

In recent years, our air quality has been getting worse and worse, causing problems with the nose of many people. For example, some people have a lot of dirt in their noses. The dirt in the nose is likely to be purulent secretions, and the purulent secretions in the nose are likely to be caused by sinusitis. It is generally best for us to go to the ENT department of the hospital for a check-up to confirm the cause and then treat it symptomatically.

The dangers of sinusitis

1. It is extremely harmful to the body

It can cause headaches, dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, irritability, and irritability. It can also cause students’ academic performance to gradually decline, and they will feel sleepy, indifferent, and unable to concentrate.

It can cause headaches, dizziness, insomnia, forgetfulness, and restlessness.

2. It can also become a lesion

Affects inflammation of surrounding tissues, especially eye diseases such as central retinitis. A patient with long-term low-grade fever who had not responded to multiple diagnoses and treatments was diagnosed with chronic maxillary sinusitis after an ENT consultation and was cured after treatment.

3. Cause other diseases

The nasal cavity is directly connected to the oral cavity, throat, lower respiratory tract and digestive tract. The secretions from rhinitis and sinusitis drain downward, directly stimulating these tissues and causing various lesions. If sinusitis destroys the sinus bone wall, the inflammation often spreads to other tissues. Because the sinuses are located in different locations, the complications they cause are also different. For example, frontal sinusitis is prone to cause intraorbital or intracranial complications.

4. It can also cause intracranial complications

When complicated with epidural abscess, the symptoms are not typical and diagnosis is difficult. In addition to nasal symptoms, there may be worsening headache, nausea and vomiting, and slow pulse. When complicated by subdural abscess, the subjective symptoms include headache, fever and meningeal irritation signs. In severe cases, paralysis or convulsion of the contralateral facial and upper limb muscles may occur. Rupture of the abscess may cause purulent meningitis, which has very serious consequences. It should be treated with Jieyuan Tongqiao Ointment in time.

5. Osteomyelitis

Chronic suppurative sinusitis that does not heal for a long time can easily cause osteomyelitis of the frontal, sphenoid, ethmoid, and maxillary bones. It is common in frontal bone osteomyelitis. In addition to tenderness in the sinus area, the headache is characterized by dull pain like stuffiness and distension. If osteomyelitis does not heal for a long time, there may be yellow-green nasal discharge, and X-rays may show unclear bone structure, dead bone formation and sinus bone wall defects.

How to prevent sinusitis in life?

1. Avoid various factors that lead to a decrease in human resistance

Such as excessive fatigue, lack of sleep, cold, drinking, smoking, etc.; this is because when the human body's resistance is reduced, the nasal mucosa has poor regulatory function and low defense function, and the virus takes advantage of the opportunity to invade and cause illness.

2. Enhance immunity

Adhere to physical exercise, strengthen physical fitness, and improve the body's ability to adapt to adverse conditions, such as morning jogging, cold showers or washing face with cold water, etc., to improve the body's tolerance to cold, and actively treat upper respiratory tract diseases and other chronic diseases throughout the body.

3. Wear a mask during an epidemic
