There is sticky phlegm deep in the nose

When we catch a cold or have a fever, we need to relieve the symptoms in time. Many people like to do nothing when they have a cold and just treat the cold as it is. Although this method will enhance the body's resistance to colds, not all colds are suitable for being treated toughly. Sometimes when a cold becomes serious, you will feel as if there is sticky phlegm blocking deep in your throat and nose, which is a very uncomfortable feeling.

No phlegm is produced in the nose. This is a type of rhinitis. Postnasal drip is caused by qi deficiency. Or the inflamed area of ​​rhinitis will secrete a large amount of purulent substance, namely nasal mucus.

Reason 1

I have this feeling because I have rhinitis. Rhinitis will secrete relatively viscous purulent secretions, which are continuously transported to the throat by the nasal cilia. Because they are relatively viscous, they stick there and create a foreign body sensation. Since rhinitis is not serious and the amount of secretions is not large, breathing through the nose is unobstructed and the most obvious symptom is the foreign body sensation in the throat.

Reason 2

Many people also mistakenly believe that this is simple pharyngitis, but in fact it is pharyngitis caused by rhinitis. In terms of treatment, if the root cause, that is, rhinitis, is not addressed, this foreign body sensation will return after the effect of the medicine wears off.

Reason 3

Many people also think that pharyngitis cannot be cured. In fact, after rhinitis is cured, pharyngitis will disappear completely. 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.

Reason 4

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.

Reason 5

These nasal mucus containing a large amount of inflammatory substances will be transported to the nasopharynx by the nasal cilia. Because they are too viscous to slide into the stomach for sterilization, they stick 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.

Reason 6

Pharyngitis is often associated with rhinitis. This is also the reason why the effect of treating pharyngitis alone is poor. To completely cure rhinitis, you can buy a Bishule nasal washer yourself? Add warm saline solution to gently soak the tender tissues of the nasal cavity, and thoroughly remove the mucus on the surface of the tissue and the viruses and other harmful substances in the mucus. Generally, you can wash it once in the morning and once in the evening.
