Description:
At acute rhinitis the catarrh of a mucous membrane which is shown the puffiness of fabrics which is the most expressed in the field of nasal sinks develops. Defeat extends to both half of a nose.
Symptoms of Acute rhinitis:
* nose congestion;
* allocations from a nose;
* deterioration in sense of smell;
* headaches;
* indisposition and weakness.
At the beginning of a disease rhinitis can be distinguished on feeling of dryness, burning and an itch in a nose, and also to frequent sneezing. Then during the period from 1 hour to 2 days this slight discomfort gradually passes into a congestion of a nose and decrease in sense of smell, completing a so-called first stage of rhinitis.
Bright sign of the second stage are unpleasant allocations from a nose which complicate breath even more. Very often at this stage appetite decreases, the sleep is interrupted, and there are even headaches. And the most important that the patient begins to breathe through a mouth and promotes further distribution of an inflammation on underlying departments of respiratory tracts and to development of complications.
At last, from 3 to 5 more days of allocation later from a nose become more viscous, crusts are formed, and it becomes more difficult to otsmarkivatsya. It is the third stage of rhinitis. If not to cure cold at this stage, there can be serious complications.
Reasons of Acute rhinitis:
Arises as a result of impact on a mucous membrane of a nasal cavity of a viral or bacterial infection. It can accompany acute infectious diseases (flu, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria, gonorrhea).
Treatment of Acute rhinitis:
As a rule, at treatment of acute cold use such medicamentous means as:
* acetylsalicylic acid;
* antimicrobic means (for prevention of complications);
* vitamin C;
* the distracting procedures — for example, dry thermal wrappings of feet.
The most rational and effective is the treatment directed to destruction of the activator, however antibiotics do not affect viruses most of which often caused rhinitis therefore their use does not make sense.
But what set of methods you would not use, successful treatment of acute rhinitis is impossible without regular clarification of a nose by its full washing (a nasal shower).
Washings of a nose will allow:
* to eliminate microbic activators from a nasal cavity and a nasopharynx;
* to recover nasal breath, to reduce production of slime;
* to stimulate recovery processes in a mucous membrane;
* to normalize protective functions;
* to reduce the need for medicamentous means;
* to reduce terms of treatment and to reduce risk of complications.
