Is there always phlegm at the bottom of your nasal cavity that you can’t suck out?

Rhinitis is a very common disease. If there is always phlegm at the bottom of the nasal cavity and it cannot be sucked out, you may have rhinitis. Phlegm is actually the purulent secretion of rhinitis. It is relatively sticky and mostly sticks to the throat. If you want to completely solve the problem of phlegm, you need to actively treat rhinitis. After the rhinitis is cured, the phlegm will naturally be solved. People with rhinitis must pay more attention to maintenance.

What causes rhinitis?

Rhinitis is no longer unfamiliar to many friends. It occurs at different ages and stages. Since pediatric rhinitis is very harmful and has a high probability of occurrence, timely treatment is usually required. The symptoms of pediatric rhinitis are usually regarded as an important basis for timely medical treatment, so it is necessary to have sufficient understanding of the symptoms of pediatric rhinitis. Combined with the symptoms and characteristics of pediatric rhinitis, the symptoms of different types of rhinitis are different.

What are the symptoms of rhinitis in children? What are the symptoms of acute rhinitis in children?

Acute rhinitis is a common type of rhinitis in children, characterized by sudden onset and obvious symptoms. At the onset, there is mild chills and fever, general discomfort, a burning sensation in the nasopharynx, dryness, itching, and sneezing in the nose. After 1 to 2 days, the patient gradually develops nasal congestion, a large amount of clear nasal discharge, decreased sense of smell, and headache. As the course of the disease prolongs, the color of secretions often becomes darker and nasal congestion becomes more severe.

What are the symptoms of rhinitis in children? Symptoms of chronic rhinitis in children

It is characterized by nasal congestion and loss of smell. In chronic simple rhinitis, nasal congestion is relieved during daytime activities, but worsens at night or when sitting still. When lying on one side, the lower nasal cavity is blocked, while the upper nasal cavity is well ventilated. When lying on the other side, nasal congestion occurs in the other nasal cavity. The nasal discharge is mucous and is often accompanied by headache, dizziness, decreased sense of smell, etc. Chronic hypertrophic rhinitis is often characterized by persistent nasal congestion, mucous or mucopurulent nasal discharge, and may also cause tinnitus, hearing loss, headache, insomnia, mental depression, etc.

Complications of allergic rhinitis

Bronchial asthma: Less than half of patients with hay fever and some patients with perennial allergic rhinitis develop bronchial asthma. This is caused by allergic bronchial lesions, and the allergens are the same as those of allergic rhinitis. Generally, bronchial asthma occurs several years after the onset of nasal and eye symptoms. Before an asthma attack, there is a persistent, long-lasting cough, which is a prodromal symptom of asthma and is caused by allergic bronchitis. In very few patients, asthma occurs simultaneously with nasal and eye symptoms, and in a few children, asthma occurs first. It is often discovered in early childhood, and nasal symptoms do not appear until several years later. At this time, asthma may still be occurring or may no longer have clinical manifestations. Long-term asthma attacks can lead to complications such as emphysema and cor pulmonale, which seriously affect the patient's physical health and quality of life. This situation is only seen in perennial allergic rhinitis.

Otitis media: Because the swollen or edematous nasal mucosa is continuous with the Eustachian tube mucosa, the same lesions may also occur in the Eustachian tube mucosa. When the swelling and edema of the Eustachian membrane mucosa reaches a certain extent, it can lead to Eustachian tube obstruction, fluid accumulation in the middle ear cavity, and conductive hearing loss. This is allergic otitis media. This disease does not cause suppuration, so it will not cause tympanic membrane perforation and ear pus discharge. Its allergens are consistent with those of allergic rhinitis, but allergic rhinitis complicated by allergic otitis media is uncommon.
