Introduce

A runny nose is a common condition when the mucous membrane in the nose becomes infected. This is a common symptom and often appears when we have a cold or rhinitis. Below, we will learn about the causes, symptoms, and treatments for runny nose.

Causes of runny nose

A runny nose can be caused by many different reasons. Here are some common causes:

1. Colds: Colds are one of the main causes of runny nose. Cold viruses attack the mucous membranes in the nose and make it inflamed, leading to congestion and a runny nose.

2. Allergic rhinitis: People with allergic rhinitis often overreact to allergens such as pollen, fine dust or air pollutants. When exposed to an allergen, the mucous membrane in the nose becomes inflamed and causes a runny nose.

3. Sinusitis: Sinusitis is an inflammation of the sinus sacs around the nose. When the sinus sacs become infected, mucus and secretions will flow into the nose, causing symptoms of a runny nose.

4. Dry environment: Dry environments can dry out the mucous membranes in the nose and cause a runny nose. When the mucous membrane is dry, it cannot do its job of filtering and moisturizing the air, leading to irritation and runny nose.

Symptoms of runny nose

Symptoms of a runny nose can vary depending on the cause. Here are some common symptoms:
