Western medicine is treating the symptoms a lie, contrary to the actual situation of modern medicine. Especially for common symptoms, pay attention to modern medical treatment of their cause, rather than symptomatic treatment. Of course it can cure the cause of good governance can not or do not know the cause of it is to let the body heal, at least as a way to make the patient feel comfortable. But many people do not have the concept of change, whether they have a fever or cough, pharyngitis, nasal congestion, the first thought is to treat the symptoms and not the cause of thought to solve.
Why do people appear stuffy nose? The main reason is because the nose of the blood vessels and tissues because the liquid component too much swelling, and people have a stuffy feeling.
In this case, do not try to make blood vessels become swollen, decongestant nasal sprays that do the job for 30 minutes before use to bear fruit.
But after a while the enlargement. Then swelling, a swelling will also continue to disappear, continue swollen ......
Why repeat the old swollen? Because the nose is a virus or a bacterial infection, the body make more blood cells to fight infection delivery, so decongestant is contrary to the will of the body, can only work temporarily.
Sure enough, three days later even temporarily do not work, and nasal congestion worse, this is called drug-induced rhinitis, it is a protest issued by the body. Decongestant nasal sprays are not caused, but the abuse of nasal decongestant nasal sprays cause damage to blood vessels no longer swelling, but lead to more congestion, and may impact on the diagnosis of the cause. This decongestant nasal sprays abuse very seriously, according to US data, up to 7% of the population.
Nasal congestion is the standard, not the present. There are many causes for nasal congestion, these reasons are not resolved, stuffy nose can not disappear, it is necessary to start from the cause.
The main reason there are four kinds of nasal congestion:
Infection: mainly viral infections, foremost of which is the common cold. Adults each year suffer 2-3 times the common cold, children suffering from the common cold more often. The main way influenza virus transmission is hand-to-nose way, rub his nose in when the virus enters the body, in order to resist viral infection, the body to release histamine, increase nasal blood supply, leading to nasal tissue swelling, and It produces large amounts of mucus, causing nasal congestion. Antihistamines and nasal decongestants can only be to the extent of remission, you can also use saline nasal wash, but the real solution to wait for a cold cure. The only effective drug treatment for the common cold is the time.
After suffering from the common cold, nasal bacteria resistance is weak, there may be a secondary infection, acute sinus infections produce nasal congestion and thick nasal discharge, facial pain will appear, this situation need to use antibiotics.
Structural abnormalities: the nose and nasal deformities, such deformities often because of injury. Injuries often occur in childhood, 7% of newborns at birth nose injury. Deformity if the medication useless, if breathing, then the impact to consider surgery. One of the most common situation is tonsillar hypertrophy, children at night snoring, breathing noise issue, the child will be more mouth breathing, leading to tooth deformity, sagging face, this situation should consider the removal of the tonsils.
There are also nasal tumors and foreign bodies, children often put foreign objects into the nostrils. These will have to see a doctor, to take measures.
Allergy: allergic rhinitis nasal congestion can also occur. To make this case, anti-allergy treatment, allergy solved, possible solutions to alleviate congestion.
Vasomotor rhinitis: psychological stress, pregnancy, high blood pressure medications, thyroid dysfunction, excessive use of the previously mentioned decongestant nasal spray, perfume and irritation caused by tobacco that rhinitis, when the side, below the nose end blockage, affecting sleep. This situation can use high pillow, may consider surgery when I sleep.
Most people just feel uncomfortable nasal congestion, but in some cases not the effect, if nasal congestion more than 10 days or more, more than three days with high fever, runny nose, sinus pain and fever associated with asthma or emphysema, taking reduced immunity force drugs, blood in the nose, etc., we need to see a doctor. More attention should be paid child stuffy nose, if a child less than two months with a fever, stuffy and uncomfortable or because, difficulty in breathing, we should see a doctor.
Nasal congestion is a more annoying thing, most of the congestion is caused by the common cold, the only other general good cold, stuffy nose will be good. Therefore, prevention of nasal congestion would prevent a cold, wash hands before being less stuffy.
From an evolutionary point of view, stuffy nose really count evolution defects, but can also be said to be reasonable. Because there are human existence most of the time, people are living dispersed a group of more than a dozen twenty, if there is any infectious disease, which may have a group of people be dead, hence the congestion as a sign of who speaks muffled, you can tell the difference, so far he alone, whether clubbed to death on the unknown.
After the emergence of civilization, is full of infectious diseases, it can no longer do nasal features, this thing has become useless and uncomfortable function, and can only wait for the number of years after humans continue to evolve cold stuffy not function right.
