Sore throat, yellow phlegm and blood streaks

Many people will suffer from rhinitis when the seasons change. If the rhinitis is severe, there will be yellow nasal mucus, which will sometimes be spit out from the mouth to form yellow sputum. If there is yellow snot, it proves that our rhinitis is already very serious. Along with rhinitis, there may be a sore throat and even blood in the sputum. So today, let’s take a look at the situation of sore throat, yellow sputum and blood with the editor.

Yellow sputum with blood in it is caused by rhinitis. Observe whether you have runny nose or nasal mucus, or a runny nose when exposed to cold air, or whether there is sticky stuff stuck from the back of the nasal cavity to the throat.

If any of these conditions occur, you already have rhinitis. Phlegm is the purulent secretion of rhinitis that is transported to the throat by the nasal cilia. Because it is relatively sticky, it sticks there and is eventually spit out. When the symptoms of rhinitis worsen, the swollen nasal and throat mucosa capillaries are ruptured when you cough, blow your nose, or talk loudly, and a small amount of blood enters the secretions. When it is spit out, it becomes the blood in the sputum that you see.

When you lie down to sleep at night, the secretions from the entire night accumulate in the throat, so the phlegm and bleeding are more obvious in the morning. In this case, if you treat your rhinitis well, the phlegm and nasal mucosal bleeding will disappear naturally. In the future, if you pay attention to preventing colds and avoid new rhinitis caused by colds, this situation will not happen again.

Rhinitis is caused by long-term or repeated colds, increased hormone levels during pregnancy, poor air quality in the living environment, etc., which lead to the death of a large number of nasal cilia and reduce the nasal cavity's detoxification ability, allowing harmful substances to remain in the nasal cavity and cause damage to the nasal mucosa. The inflamed area of ​​rhinitis will secrete a large amount of purulent substance, namely nasal mucus.

Nasal mucus contains a large number of pathogens and inflammatory substances. Because it is too viscous, the nasal cilia cannot transport them out in time. The mucus accumulates in the nasal cavity, causing the nasal inflammation to worsen and easily lead to sinusitis. At the same time, it is more likely to cause colds, forming a vicious cycle of rhinitis → colds → worsening rhinitis → more susceptible to colds.

At the same time, the nasal mucus containing a large amount of inflammatory substances will be transported to the nasopharynx by the nasal cilia. Because it is too viscous to slide into the stomach for sterilization, it sticks to the nasopharynx and throat. The inflammatory substances in it irritate the soft tissue of the throat, causing pharyngitis, and in severe cases, symptoms such as coughing. If these secretions are spit out from the mouth, they become what we call phlegm. Therefore, pharyngitis is usually accompanied by rhinitis. This is also the reason why the effect of treating pharyngitis alone is poor. To completely treat rhinitis, you can directly use Bishule with warm saline to gently soak the tender tissues of the nasal cavity, and completely remove the mucus on the surface of the tissue and the viruses and other harmful substances in the mucus.
