What causes thick nasal discharge? What are the causes?

When talking about colds, many people think of runny nose, which is a common symptom of colds. Some people also have thick runny nose. There are many factors that cause this symptom. Only by finding out the cause can we treat it symptomatically. Here I will explain to you the causes.

1. Reduced overall body resistance, such as excessive fatigue, cold and dampness, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, and poor living environment.

2. Allergic constitution, systemic diseases such as anemia, endocrine dysfunction (such as hypofunction of the thyroid, pituitary gland and gonads), acute infectious diseases such as influenza, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc. can all induce the occurrence of this disease.

3. Some nasal diseases, such as deviated nasal septum, hypertrophy of the middle turbinate, nasal polyps, allergic rhinitis, nasal foreign bodies or nasal tumors, can also cause sinusitis.

4. Adjacent lesions, such as tonsillitis or adenoids hypertrophy, infection of the roots of the maxillary second bicuspids and the first and second molars, damage to the maxillary sinus wall during tooth extraction, or caries roots falling into the maxillary sinus can also lead to sinusitis.

5. Others, such as sinus trauma and fracture; improper diving posture when swimming (such as standing diving), or improper nose blowing after diving and swimming, sewage entering the sinuses; nasal packing left in the nasal cavity for too long; rapid descent from high altitude, the sinus cavity and the outside world form a relative negative pressure, and nasal secretions are inhaled into the sinuses, etc. can also cause the disease.

It is worth reminding that the incidence of nasal diseases is high and the number of patients is quite large. Since they are not very clear about its harm, many patients do not take it seriously, and delayed or improper treatment occurs frequently, and the result is often that they suffer greatly. Therefore, the symptoms of thick nasal discharge cannot be delayed, and choosing a specialized hospital for treatment is the key.
