What to do if the nose is red and swollen

The nose is one of the five senses of the human body. It helps people breathe normally and allows people to smell various smells. The nose is a very important organ, but sometimes the nose may have various problems. For example, when you have a cold, you may have a stuffy nose. Another example is that people may find that the nose is red, swollen and inflamed. What is the cause of this? What should I do if my nose becomes red, swollen and inflamed?

1. If you have a boil in your nose, you usually need to take anti-inflammatory drugs to fight bacteria and reduce swelling. Usually, be careful not to squeeze boils in the nose to avoid causing deep boils. Also be careful not to squeeze the nasal cavity too much to avoid causing cavernous sinusitis and intracranial infection.

2. If it is folliculitis, it is caused by bacterial infection and inflammation. In this case, you also need to take anti-inflammatory drugs to prevent the condition from becoming more serious. You can apply anti-inflammatory ointment topically. You should eat a balanced diet, avoid spicy food, drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and don't stay up late.

3. Getting angry will stimulate the local capillaries to dilate and become congested. Other reasons such as bacterial infection will cause redness, swelling and pain in the nose.

4. If your nose is red, swollen and painful and there is a pustule in it, do not squeeze it out casually. The pustule indicates inflammation. If not handled properly, it may cause infection and worsen the condition.

Generally speaking, boils in the nose will not worsen as long as they are treated properly. As long as you pay attention to your diet, drink more water, and pay attention to clearing heat and detoxifying, the boils will gradually disappear. Therefore, we must pay attention to control and avoid the spread of inflammation caused by infection and prevent intracranial complications. It is strictly forbidden to squeeze boils. If the boils or abscesses are large, go to the hospital and let the doctor treat them. If the symptoms are relatively mild, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs or apply anti-inflammatory drugs externally, such as alcohol iodine to relieve pain, reduce inflammation and kill bacteria. If the symptoms are severe, even accompanied by high fever and redness and swelling of the entire face, antibiotic injection is required. Prevent development otherwise it can easily deteriorate into meningitis or sepsis. Therefore, we need to understand the symptoms of the disease, learn to distinguish them, and prescribe the right medicine.
