Postnasal discharge with blood

I believe many people have experienced the phenomenon of postnasal discharge with blood. If it happens occasionally, it may be caused by getting a sore throat, which is more likely to occur in the morning. In addition, if you often have postnasal discharge with blood, you should be careful about whether you have rhinitis. Rhinitis is a common disease. We must be aware of its symptoms and seek timely treatment once discovered. Now let’s look at the situation of rhinitis.

Clinical manifestations of nasopharyngitis

The nasopharynx is dry and uncomfortable, and there is a sticky secretion that is difficult to cough up, so the patient's frequent coughing is often accompanied by nausea. In severe cases, there are systemic or local symptoms such as hoarseness, sore throat, headache, dizziness, fatigue, indigestion, and low fever. Examination of the nasopharynx revealed chronic congestion, hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the mucosa, covered with secretions or dry crusts.

Nasopharyngitis is an inflammation caused by the invasion of viruses and bacteria in the nasopharynx. Examination may reveal edema, hypertrophy, and hyperplasia of the nasopharyngeal mucosa, accompanied by secretions. Patients often experience clinical symptoms such as nasal congestion, sneezing, clear (purulent) nasal discharge, itchy nasopharynx, dry cough with foreign body sensation, difficulty breathing, dizziness, headache, fatigue, loss of smell, and memory loss.

treat

For those without systemic symptoms or with mild symptoms, local application can be applied: gargle with compound borax solution, various lozenges and Chinese patent medicines can be used as appropriate; antiviral drugs can be used according to the cause of the disease. In addition to the above treatment, patients with severe systemic symptoms accompanied by high fever should rest in bed, drink plenty of water and eat liquid food. Antiviral drugs can be administered intravenously, and antibiotics or sulfonamides can be used at the same time.

1. To prevent nasopharyngitis, you should keep warm, especially for patients with rhinitis. Regardless of winter or summer, if you are in a low temperature environment (indoor air-conditioned environment in summer), you should keep warm.

2. Nasopharyngitis may be accompanied by symptoms such as dryness, stinging, and fever in the nasopharynx. To prevent nasopharyngitis, you should pay attention to drinking plenty of water, getting enough rest, ensuring fresh air around you, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
