How is the nose color abnormal?

When we blow our noses, we often throw away the paper. Few people will pay more attention to the "filth" of blowing their noses. In fact, a lot of health information is transmitted through the nose. When some diseases appear, the color or characteristics of the nose may change. So, what kind of health does different noses represent?

Before understanding the abnormal situation, let me introduce to you what a normal nose should look like. Snuff is mucus secreted by our nasal mucosa, which moistens the nasal cavity and adheres to impurities inhaled in the air. Its main components are water, protein, salt, antibiotics and other substances. Therefore, a normal nose should be colorless, transparent, clear and slightly sticky. Once the nose has the following changes, it is necessary to be vigilant.

Milky white snot

When the color of colorless nasal mucus turns milky white, the main reason for this change is that the water in nasal mucus decreases and the concentration of mucin increases, which may be caused by lack of water in the body. Or there will be such a symptom reaction after a cold appears; In addition, when inflammation occurs in the nasal cavity, which leads to congestion of tissues in the nasal cavity, it will also cause this change of nasal mucus.

Yellow snot

When the runny nose appears thick yellow and becomes extremely sticky, it may be caused by a bad cold at first. At this time, the human immune system is fighting the virus, and a large number of "sacrificed" white blood cells are excreted with the runny nose; Furthermore, when our nasal cavity is seriously infected, our nose will turn yellow. If there are no other complications such as colds and fever, it is necessary to treat them in time.

Green snot

The possibility of green runny nose is that when the immune system resists the virus, the white blood cells are damaged too much, so treatment can be considered; In addition, the typical symptom of sinusitis is that the nose turns green. At this time, the body will be accompanied by a series of complications such as stuffy nose, runny nose, headache and decreased sense of smell. In order not to affect life, it is necessary to treat it in time.

Red snot

When the exhaled nasal mucus is mixed with bloodshot and red nasal mucus appears, it may be nosebleed at first, possibly because the environment is too dry and the capillaries in the nasal cavity are broken. At this time, attention should be paid to maintaining the humidity in the nasal cavity; Furthermore, when there is serious inflammation in the nasal cavity, it will also lead to the rupture of capillaries.

Brown snot

When the nose appears brown-black, on the one hand, it may be breathing heavily polluted air, resulting in a large number of impurities attached to the nose; Furthermore, when there is a serious fungal infection, the nose will also have dark brown symptoms.

When we blow our nose and find the above abnormalities, we must be able to treat them in time.
