What should I do if there is a lot of nasal mucus in my nose after catching a cold?

Cold is a very common disease. Its symptoms generally include cough, fever, runny nose, etc. Some people will suffer from inflammation after catching a cold. If they suffer from inflammation, a lot of nasal mucus will appear in the patient's nose, and they will feel difficulty breathing. There are many situations that can cause a lot of mucus in the nose after a cold, and specific treatment is required based on your own situation. So, what should you do if a cold leaves inflammation and a lot of mucus in your nose?

1. Some people have rhinitis. Patients with rhinitis will have more secretions in their nasal cavity, and there will be more nasal mucus formed by some dust accompanied by breathing. Patients like this can take some anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, which will improve rhinitis to a certain extent, so that there will be less nasal mucus.

2. Some people have weak constitutions and are prone to catching colds. Once they catch a cold, they will have a runny nose. At this time, if mixed with dust, a lot of nasal mucus will be formed. Such patients should clean the nasal cavity in time, and pay attention to keeping warm and not catching a cold again, which will aggravate the condition and cause more nasal mucus.

3. There is another phenomenon which is what Chinese medicine calls "getting angry". When people get angry, their nasal cavity is relatively dry and the secretions in the nasal cavity will be reduced. The dust breathed in at this time will stand in the nasal cavity and form a kind of nasal mucus that is not good for you. Drinking more water to reduce the condition of getting angry will reduce the formation of nasal mucus.

Note:

There are some hair follicles at the entrance of each person's nostrils, that is, nose hairs. They usually secrete some secretions to moisturize the inside of the nose. When breathing normally, some dirty substances will mix with the secretions and form nasal mucus after drying. Nasal mucus is something that everyone has. Generally, the depth of the color of the nasal mucus has a lot to do with the environment and the air you breathe. If the environment you live in is dirty and dusty, such as construction workers, their nasal mucus will be darker in color.

Pay more attention to hygiene in daily life. You can wear a mask when going out to keep the nasal cavity clean at all times. Drink more water and eat more vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins. This will reduce the occurrence of nasal mucus.
