Symptoms of nose infection

All organs in the human body may be infected, some directly and some indirectly. People breathe through their mouths and noses, mainly through their noses. What happens if the nose is infected? There are many symptoms of nose infection, and the infection caused by each virus is different. Among viral infections, nasal infection is the most serious. Let’s take a closer look.

1. Overview

The cold is a common respiratory disease caused by a variety of viruses, such as rhinovirus, adenovirus, coronavirus, respiratory syncytial virus, etc., which are the "masterminds" behind the cold. Rhinovirus is the most powerful one among them, and half of the colds are caused by it. So what are the symptoms of rhinovirus infection for sick patients? Let’s take a closer look.

2. Steps/Methods:

1. First: Rhinovirus loves to live in the human nasal cavity. The good ventilation environment and suitable temperature are extremely suitable for its survival and reproduction, so it likes to stay there. This is also the origin of calling it "rhinovirus" in medicine.

2. Second: Colds caused by rhinovirus usually have a short incubation period. Cold symptoms may appear two to four days after infection, including sore throat, nasal congestion, sneezing, mild headache, chills, fatigue and other general discomfort.

3. Third: The cough caused by rhinovirus is usually not severe, but it often lasts for 2 weeks. Almost no fever is the main characteristic of colds caused by rhinovirus infection. Because there are hundreds of different rhinoviruses and random changes in viral antigens, combined with the fact that the human body's immunity to rhinoviruses does not last long, we are repeatedly infected with rhinoviruses year after year.

3. Notes:

Although you don't need to take medicine, if a cold is too uncomfortable, you can use medicine to relieve the symptoms. It is also important to do a good job of preventing colds in daily life. In fact, the medical community has tried many methods to prevent colds, such as vaccinations, oral vitamins, ultraviolet disinfection, etc., but none of them have definite effects. Since many viruses, especially rhinoviruses, are transmitted through contact with contaminated fingers, careful hand washing is beneficial both at home and for people who frequently go to public places.
