How is the nasal cavity smelly? How to deal with it?

The following are common diseases.

1, foreign body in nasal cavity:

More common in children, because they are naive and curious. They often put beans, peanuts, stones, small toys, etc. into the nasal cavity while playing, but they can't discharge them, and they don't inform adults in time. After a long time, foreign bodies stay in the nasal cavity and cause mucosal inflammation, mostly unilateral nasal congestion and purulent nasal discharge.

2, atrophic rhinitis:

It is more common in young people, because most people with this disease have no sense of smell. I can't smell the bad smell, but others can't stand it and often stay away from him. Some patients with bad smell will smell bad smell if they are far away from them, so they are called smelly nose disease. This needs to go to the hospital for examination. After all, the air that the nose usually breathes is tasteless.

3. Malignant tumor:

More common in middle-aged and elderly people. In addition to the smelly nose, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as spontaneous bleeding and headache. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly people have no obvious reason to be limited to nasal odor or frequent nosebleeds. This is all caused by diseases, so we must go to the hospital for a good examination and symptomatic treatment.

4, osteomyelitis:

Children with osteomyelitis of frontal bone and ethmoid sinusitis have osteomyelitis of maxilla, and may have a bad smell when they have pus, which is mistaken for a bad smell of nasal cavity.

5, caseous rhinitis:

Because the nasal cavity or paranasal sinuses are full of tofu-like dirt, which destroys bones and produces stench.

How to care for the nose

Change bad habits

The habit of picking your nose should be avoided as much as possible, which is not only unsanitary, but also may lead to mucosal damage, blood vessel rupture, nosebleeds, and even bacterial infections in severe cases, endangering the brain.

Wash your nose often.

In daily life, cleaning the nose frequently and massaging the nose properly can promote the blood circulation of the nose and reduce the risk of nasal diseases.

In addition, we should also pay attention to active exercise to enhance physical fitness, which is conducive to the prevention and treatment of nasal diseases.

Avoid harmful gases

Dust, irritating gas or chemically harmful gas may damage the nasal mucosa and have adverse effects on the sense of smell.

Blow your nose correctly

When we have a cold or rhinitis, we are always used to blowing our noses at the same time in order to clean them up as soon as possible.

But the correct way should be to blow one side first, and then blow the other side to prevent nasal mucus from entering the eustachian tube and tympanic cavity and causing infection.

Actively treat nasal diseases

When abnormal symptoms appear in the nose and do not improve for a long time, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible to avoid small problems from developing into big problems and damaging your health; In addition, regular physical examination can effectively prevent problems before they happen.
