Running nose spoils your life?

Running nose is one of the most unpleasant displays of cold. The running nose creates weight of inconveniences, deprives us of sense of smell and appetite, prevents us to sleep well... In general, the running nose seriously damages our life. And the matter is not only in an infinite number of handkerchiefs. The running nose negatively influences private life. 80% of the interrogated women have declared, that the running nose worsens state of health and completely destroys not only romantic mood, but also appeal.
Jacob Bogatin says that the overwhelming majority of patients hesitate of the reddened nose and consider how to appear in an office or at a meeting without a handkerchief but with a running nose is a crash. Therefore with a running nose it is necessary to struggle with all accessible means, and our article will help you to understand what is a running nose and how to act in such a situation in order combat it.

In medicine running nose or an inflammation of a mucous membrane of a nose name a rhinitis (from Greek. rinos – a nose). Jacob Bogatin distinguishes a sharp and chronic running nose.

The most frequent reason of a sharp running nose are the viruses causing a sharp respiratory virus infection; bacteria amaze mucous nose cavities again, after viruses, and are the reason of complications. Also disease development is promoted by the general overcooling of an organism. Traumas of a mucous membrane of a nose alien bodies or manipulations with nasal area (including, surgical), professional harmful factors (a dust, a smoke, strongly smelling substances etc.) can be other more rare reasons.

Jacob Bogatin states that getting with inhaled air on a mucous membrane of a cavity of a nose, viruses get into the superficial cages having eyelashes, and there develop within one-three days. As a result of it function of cages, including mechanical removal of alien agents from a mucous membrane that is made by vibrating movements eyelashes, made in a direction outside – from a nose cavity to nasal apertures is broken. Such clarification in norm is carried out daily and protects an organism from possible infection. Viruses, breaking work of cages,create conditions for joining also bacterial infection.

Reasons of rash


Various changes suddenly appearing on the skin doctors call a rash. There are some tens illnesses where the rash always happens. The overwhelming majority of these diseases are not so terrible but they can be caught very often and the rush that accompanies these diseases can turn out to be dangerous so it is necessary always it is necessary to be cautious.

To begin with Jacob Bogatin states that there are three groups of illnesses when a rush can appear on the skin:
• Infectious diseases.
• Allergic diseases.
• Illnesses of blood and vessels.
Let's consider them in detail.

Infectious diseases — the most frequent reason of a rash and it is easily to be convinced that the reason of a rash an infection. After all, besides a rash, it is necessarily to find out other signs of infectious disease that can be the following: contact to the infectious patient, the sharp beginning, body rise in temperature, appetite loss, a fever, something is ill (a throat, a head, a stomach), or something is itching, either a cold, or cough, or a diarrhoeia.


J.Bogatin says that there is a rash at the following illnesses which cause viruses: measles, German measles, chicken pox are the most frequent, but there is a set of others with terrible names — herpetic infection, infectious mononucleosis, infectious reddening, sudden exanthema and etc. The feature of all these illnesses is practically a full absence of possibilities essentially to help the patient as effective ways of struggle against viruses for the present have not thought up. But anything especially sad in it is not present: the human body within one-two weeks with a virus consults as well.

Bacteria can be the reason of infectious rashes. With them, on the one hand, is easier — there are antibacterial preparations (antibiotics, sulfanilamides), capable ill to help. But, on the other hand, diseases in itself can be serious enough when the rash is so, a trifle, in comparison with all the rest.

The most frequent bacterial infection with a rash — a scarlet fever, but at all on hearing set of other illnesses at which there is a rash, — belly and rash typhus, the syphilis, the meningitis, the staphylococcal infection (the list, unfortunately, it is far not full).

Rash as an allergy exposure all in all it is a rarity (to put it mildly). Thoughts concerning the allergic nature of illness in general and rashes in particular arise, as a rule, when, first, there are no infection signs — i.e. the general condition, normal temperature is not broken especially, appetite and secondly was not gone, is on what to sin — i.e. Contact to something (someone) who could be an allergy source took place.

From the above listed signs Jacob Bogatin can easily draw a conclusion on presence of four basic variants of an allergy — food, medicinal, respiratory (respiratory) and contact. The possible reason is not always seen clearly and the search for a diagnosis often transforms the doctor, the patient and his/her relatives into Sherlok Holmes's true followers.
