Experts warn about a common mistake in treating a runny nose
A runny nose is one of the symptoms of a cold.
At first glance, it seems that the problem is harmless, but in fact it significantly spoils the quality of life.
Many people try to treat a runny nose with special drops. But this is a mistake, since vasoconstrictors do not treat a runny nose.
Otolaryngologist Vladimir Zaitsev spoke about this in more detail, writes Ura.ru.
He noted that such drugs only alleviate symptoms and relieve swelling for a while.
Only a doctor can prescribe treatment and choose the right medications. Self-medication and prescribing certain medications to yourself is prohibited.
If the runny nose does not go away for more than two weeks, this may indicate the development of chronic vasomotor rhinitis.
Here you simply cannot do without a visit to the doctor, since he must prescribe the necessary procedures and medications so that the patient can cope with the problem as quickly as possible and return to a normal lifestyle.
