The nose does not breathe. What to do or how to cope with the disease?

Quite often the first sign of a cold is a suddenly started runny nose. A stuffy nose provokes a delay in the intake of oxygen into the body, headaches begin, and the person's health worsens. The nose does not breathe. What to do? If you consult a doctor, he will probably diagnose "acute rhinitis". But few people treat such a trifle to the polyclinic. So, let's figure out what you can do before calling a doctor.

Why there is a cold?

Coryza provokes a bacterial or viral infection that gets into the body from the outside. A weakened immune system is not capable of suppressing disease-causing bacteria. The second reason is the temperature drop. In general, this phenomenon is manifested in children. Cold can provoke swelling of the nasal mucosa and abundant discharge. Also, the common cold may be caused by other, non-infectious causes (nasal mucosa injury, foreign body exposure, exposure to smoke, dust, etc.) or allergies.

What is the danger of a cold?

The nose performs protective, olfactory and speech functions. Therefore, a runny nose, provokes a violation of the listed functions and leads to serious consequences, negatively affecting the state of the whole organism. Of course, the runny nose in children is different than in an adult. In childhood, a long illness causes changes in the formation of the facial skeleton (in medicine, this phenomenon is called "adenoid face"), leads to disruption of oxygen metabolism and the work of the cardiovascular system. The child has constant fatigue, absent-mindedness, fast fatigue appears and appetite decreases.

What to do with a cold?

In most cases, overall well-being with the common cold remains satisfactory. But in some cases, the disease requires intensive treatment.

So, as we have already found out, the stuffiness in the nose usually causes colds. Initially, the patient needs frequent drinking and vitamins. Spend wet cleaning daily in the room and ventilate the room.

If the disease occurs in an adult without elevated temperature, the following tips can be used.

The nose does not breathe. What to do? Carry out steam inhalations. For this you can use chamomile, sage or eucalyptus. You will receive an excellent effect from soda inhalation and the procedure with the use of balm "Asterisk".

How to perform? Herbal inhalation: in 0.5 liters of boiling water, put 3 table. Lies. Any of the listed herbs, after 5 minutes, remove from heat and proceed to the procedure.

Soda inhalation. Here everything is simple. In 0.5 liters of boiling water, put 2 tablespoons of soda and inhalation.

Inhalation with balm. In 0.5 liters of boiling water, put "Zvezdochka" balm on the tip of the knife. Stir and proceed to perform.

If your nose does not breathe, what else can you do? Excellent means, drying and reducing edema of the mucous membrane, are sea salt and baking soda. To do this, you need to prepare the solution and dig it in 3 to 4 drops to 6 times a day. For 1 stack. Boiled water, take 1 teaspoon of soda or sea salt. Stir. The solution is ready.

The child has a runny nose, what should I do? First, it is necessary to release his nasal passages from mucus. To do this, we recommend using a special aspirator (or, in extreme cases, a small enema). After removing all the mucus, dip the spout with a soda solution or raster from sea salt. Then dip in the sea-buckthorn oil. If your child is older than 3 years, we recommend using a special washing facility "Dolphin". A unique composition gently cleans the nose of mucus, dries and removes swelling. In the same way, the child can perform warming up grinding, make a compress of mustard plasters or simply strew the legs. Children up to 1.5 years old rubbing the legs with warming ointments such as "Doctor Mom."

Most parents know that the common cold is easier to prevent than cure. Therefore, if your feet are frozen, take a mustard tray or put on your baby socks with mustard. Before going to bed, drink a glass of hot milk with butter, soda (at the tip of the knife) and honey. This will help not only to fall asleep quickly, but also to wake up healthy. During the period of exacerbation, after washing out from the kindergarten, it is possible to perform a lavage of the nose. Still your nose is not breathing? What to do? Try to be treated without medications. After all, they only relieve swelling and at the same time facilitate breathing. In addition, all nasal drops are addictive, and with prolonged use can provoke proliferation of adenoids. Treated only by proven means and be healthy!
