The doctor told about the danger of a runny nose

A runny nose in a person's life is usually one of the usual symptoms of a disease, and people often do not think that inattention to the treatment of nasal congestion can lead to complications. About this on July 26, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by Dmitry Denisov, an otorhinolaryngologist (ENT), an otoneurologist at the united hospital with the polyclinic of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, and an expert at the Doktor TV channel.

The doctor noted that ignoring a runny nose can even lead to sinusitis, sinusitis, frontitis, ethmoiditis and other forms of complications within two hours. Sometimes a runny nose can be a manifestation of an allergic reaction.

At the same time, according to Laura, the color of the secreted mucus does not play a special role in the treatment of the common cold.

"In most cases, the color of what is being separated is not so important. Only the appearance of blood streaks or blood clots requires special attention and referral to a specialist," explained the otoneurologist.

The specialist recommended to consult a doctor for medical help if a runny nose is accompanied by a deterioration in well-being, pain, spotting or severe nasal congestion.

Why is the spread of infection and its mortality increasing?

Earlier, on April 29, Olga Popova, a pediatric otorhinolaryngologist at the SM Clinic for children, told what to do with prolonged rhinitis in children. She noted that the main danger is that a prolonged runny nose without treatment can lead to complications. Only in their absence will the traditional spray treatment work. According to the doctor, an important place is given to vaccination, including against hemophilic and pneumococcal infections.
