Brown snot - what to do. How to get rid of brown snot - methods of treatment of sinusitis

Sinusitis in the early stages - the causes of the onset, symptoms

Inflammation of the maxillary sinuses usually occurs,if for a long time no way to cure a runny nose. When a stimulus enters the mucous membrane (virus, foreign microorganism, allergen), a large amount of mucus is released. It is necessary to create such conditions that this mucus constantly left.

If the nose is not cleared, the mucus accumulates. There is a bacterial microflora, therefore, pathogenic microorganisms develop. It is known that moist and warm environment are very good conditions for different bacteria.

The initial cause of sinusitis isreduced immunity, which allows bacteria and viruses to enter the body through the respiratory tract. The latter settle on the mucous membrane, causing an inflammatory process.

Symptomatic of this disease is quite pronounced, and manifests itself:

• 
  increased body temperature;


• 
  headache;


• 
  sensation of pressure on the forehead, weight;


• 
  shortness of breath through the nose;


• 
  general malaise;


• 
  excretions of different colors.

Brown snot from the nose in an adult - how to treat?

Since sinusitis is characterized by purulentinflammation, most often the snot is thick and not transparent, but has a color: from light green to maroon. Such a wide range is due to the presence of impurities - pus or blood. More often green, but with prolonged and insufficiently productive treatment, or strong blowing, small vessels can burst, which explains the presence of blood.

It is compulsory in this situation to have an examination of the doctor-lora.

• 
  medication (plus various physiotherapy procedures);


• 
  with the help of punctures.

The latter is used much less often, because the illness in consequence of this application of this method of treatment acquires a chronic form.

Attention! The main thing is that the sinuses during treatment should be clean.

Why does the child have brown snot?

In children, the cause of sinus inflammation is most often mycoplasmal and chlamydial infections. Etiology, as well as the symptomatology of the disease is similar to an adult.

It is best to establish a diagnosis in the early stages, because then a conservative treatment can not be dispensed with - it will be necessary to pierce, and also, possibly, an antibiotic.

Why can snot in children be brown? This is due to the stage of the disease. At the initial - with a green tint. When the parents did not take the baby to the lorry in time (check whether everything is normal in the throat, nasopharynx) or decided to cope on their own (which may not work), the discharge may become dark - the most difficult stage, which requires inpatient treatment.

The causes of the appearance of burgundy shade (impurities of blood):

• 
  frequent use of decongestants (drops that remove puffiness);


• 
  the septum was broken - blood is present and in the early stages of the disease;


• 
  prolonged treatment, or his absence in case of illness.

Some recommendations

Drops that relieve swelling can be usednot whiter than 7 days. There is a danger of tachyphylaxis, that is, addiction to decongestants. Also, when the drops are used for a long time, the mucous membrane is dried and the vessels can be atrophied.

Treatment should be systematic, not only medicamental, but also with the use of warming up and other useful procedures.

Warming can only be used whenthe selections are transparent. Purulent inflammation worsen if exposed to high temperatures. It is necessary to consult a specialist who will provide a "step by step instruction" on the fight against the disease.

Off-topic: Sometimes in the middle or the end of the cycle, girls have brown discharge instead of monthly ones. This is a normal phenomenon that occurs during puberty.
