The shape of the nose

The so-called deformity means that the shape is different from that of a normal person. The shape of nasal battery can also be divided into congenital and acquired after death. Congenital diseases, such as congenital atresia of anterior nostril or posterior nostril, are abnormal development in fetal period, with no nostril, small nose and flat and low nose. If the back of the nasal cavity is sealed by redundant bone plates or mucous membranes, the nasal cavity is completely isolated from the nasopharyngeal cavity, and the nose cannot be naturally ventilated, so you have to open your mouth to breathe. This kind of disease, adults mostly occur on one side, and then the nostrils are closed, which is only discovered when the doctor checks. Whether it is bilateral congenital anterior nostril atresia or posterior nostril atresia, the baby can't suck milk normally after birth. If parents don't have this medical knowledge, the fetus will often starve to death, or the milk will choke in the trachea and suffocate. Or died of aspiration pneumonia. Only by unblocking the atresia in time or doing tracheotomy first can the child survive and grow up.

As for the atresia of the anterior and posterior nostrils acquired after death, it is often related to facial burn sequelae, nasal tuberculous ulcer, syphilis granuloma or local scar contraction after radiotherapy for nasopharyngeal and nasal malignant tumors, which mostly occurs on both sides. Whether congenital or acquired, anterior and posterior nostril atresia, nasal congestion, nasal speech, difficulty swallowing when drinking water and eating, etc. It brings great pain to patients. This disease can be reshaped with satisfactory results.

Proliferator hypertrophy

Proliferators, also known as adenoids, are a group of lymphoid tissues that grow at the top of the nasopharynx. Under normal circumstances, bacteria can be prevented from invading the human body through the respiratory tract. If it proliferates excessively, it will block the posterior nostril, which will lead to poor ventilation and blocked breathing. This disease is more common in children than adults, and the face lacks expression, showing dementia and the so-called "adenoid face"; It is characterized by breathing with its mouth open and snoring while sleeping.

Various rhinitis and sinusitis

Rhinitis and sinusitis can cause nasal mucosal swelling or hypertrophy, especially swelling and hypertrophy of the middle and lower turbinates, which can cling to the nasal septum and increase the viscosity due to excessive nasal discharge, or accumulate in the nasal cavity due to excessive nasal discharge, blocking the nasal cavity and affecting breathing.

Allergic diseases of nose

Allergic reaction, that is, the human body's reaction to some external substances changes abnormally, leading to excessive sensitivity. As the saying goes, allergic reaction belongs to this disease. Allergic diseases of the nose are caused by the stimulation of hot and cold air, or inhalation of dust, mold, pollen, grain powder and some special smells, which leads to allergic respiratory mucosa and temporary edema. On the nose, you can see the pale edema of nasal mucosa, especially the edema of inferior turbinate, which makes the nasal cavity blocked. The onset of the disease is accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose and sneezing. The patient thought he had caught a cold suddenly, but it was actually an allergic reaction. A cold is caused by a virus, and the nasal mucosa is red, swollen and congested, which is easy to distinguish.

Foreign body in nose

Curious and naughty, children often stuff beans, peanuts, melon seeds, stones, bottle stoppers or paper rolls into their noses. These foreign bodies can not only directly block the nasal cavity for a long time, but also the nasal mucosa will swell due to its stimulation, resulting in sticky or smelly purulent nasal mucus, further aggravating the degree of nasal congestion.

Bending of nasal septum

There is a nasal septum in the middle of the nasal cavity, which divides it in two, just like the partition in the middle of a big house. Clinically, the nasal septum is as straight as a wall, which is rare. Most nasal polyps bend to the left, to the right, or in an "S" shape, both left and right. Slight deviation or bending, I often unconsciously; When bending seriously, it can make the inferior turbinate compensatory hypertrophy and cause bilateral nasal congestion.
