What to do if there is a stuffy nose, no snoring?

In life, there are often situations where there is a stuffy nose, there is no snot. This state gives a lot of trouble and discomfort. You can not blow your nose, breathe normally. All the time you have to open your mouth for breathing. Language quickly dries up and is often thirsty. Often, other symptoms are added to such ailments: the patient complains of weakness, weakness, his nose and ears are stuffy. This state of the body is associated with another stage of complication after a cold. The fastest help in such cases of nasal congestion is the use of vasoconstrictive drops.

But they can use no more than five days. Then comes the addictive. It is necessary to change one kind of vasoconstrictive drops to another species, which will have another drug as an active substance (in addition, in this situation, one should seek medical help). In neglected cases, pathogenic bacteria - staphylococci, streptococci - are transferred from the nasal cavity to the mucous membrane of the Eustachian tube. As a result, its normal lumen is closed. External walls become inflamed, swell and adhere to each other. Because of the pressure that has formed, the eardrums are drawn in, and the sick person feels that his nose is stuffy, there is no snot, and besides, ears are laid or hurt. The hearing may even be disturbed.

The second reason, when the nose is stuffy and the head hurts (in the absence of a cold), there may be curvature of the nasal septum. This ailment develops for a long time. The feeling of complete nasal congestion does not come immediately, but gradually, year after year. The only help in this situation will be a special operation. The surgeon will remove the defect of the nasal septum, and the patient immediately senses nasal breathing.

The third cause of the phenomenon, when a stuffy nose, snot, no, is an increase in adenoids or proliferation of polyps in the nasal cavity. Just as with the curvature of the nasal septum, the symptoms of the disease develop slowly. As the overgrowth completely covers the nasal cavity, the normal process of breathing through the nose stops. The main means of help is surgical treatment, the use of laser technology. Other treatments have only a temporary effect.

At the kid at absence of a rhinitis when the stuffy nose is incorporated, the snot is not present, foreign body can be found in a nasal cavity. In such a critical situation, you need to release the nasal passage as soon as possible, if the foreign body is not deep. If it is not visible (or to pick up it is problematic), then you should immediately consult a doctor.

In no case should we forget about the barotrauma associated with air flights. The difference in pressure between the outer ear and the tympanic cavity can also cause unpleasant sensations, which are characterized by a decreased hearing, nasal congestion and headache.

If the human body has a predisposition to allergic reactions, then a permanently stuffy nose in the absence of a cold can be a symptom of allergy. Taking antihistamines, refusing products and medicines that caused allergies, will restore normal breathing with the nose.

If a person tries to determine the cause of his illness on his own without consulting the doctor, then he must remember that the stuffy nose is only a symptom characteristic of a huge number of diseases. Therefore, if self-medication does not help within 1-2 days, you should consult a doctor (and it is even better not to delay and visit a specialist when the first symptoms appear). He will quickly and correctly diagnose and prescribe adequate treatment. And if it is a child, self-medication is unacceptable!
