Clear watery nasal discharge

It is more common in patients in the early stages of colds and allergic rhinitis. However, patients who have undergone head trauma or nasal surgery, if they suddenly have watery fluid discharge, should beware of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea and require prompt diagnosis and treatment.

White mucus nasal discharge

It is common in chronic rhinitis. White mucous nasal discharge may also occur due to stimulation from certain physical and chemical substances in the living environment. Purulent nasal discharge is common after a cold. As the cold improves, the purulent components in the mucopurulent nasal discharge will gradually decrease. If the course of the disease exceeds 10 days and the mucopurulent nasal discharge is still present, the possibility of sinusitis should be considered.

Yellow runny nose

It is mostly caused by the rupture of a serous cyst in the maxillary sinus, manifested by intermittent discharge of yellow water from one side of the nasal cavity.

White nasal discharge

It is often caused by caseous rhinitis and has a foul odor. If it is green and has a special odor, it is a characteristic of atrophic rhinitis and foul nose.

Black snot

It is mostly caused by inhaling large amounts of black dust, such as coal dust, smoke, metal dust, etc. mixed in the nasal mucus.

The judgment should be made based on a comprehensive analysis of the nature, color, odor, mixed substances and examination findings of the runny nose.
