Top 10 Homeopathic Medicines For Thick, Sticky Discharge From Nose

Mucus is normally produced by mucus membranes of the nose and paranasal sinuses (air-filled cavities in the bones of skull) daily without our being aware of it. This mucus is required in the body as it functions to trap germs, infectious particles, pollutants, and dust particles that enter from the nose to prevent their entry into the lungs. Mucus production tends to increase under certain health conditions and in some cases, the mucus is thick and sticky in nature. The first reason behind this is common cold. Common cold refers to a viral infection of nose and throat that usually results from infection with rhinoviruses but can also occur from other viruses like adenovirus, and respiratory syncytial virus. Initially, in the case of common cold, the nasal discharge is thin but in later stages, it tends to become thick and sticky. The next cause could be allergies in which the immune system overreacts to inhaled allergens. As a result, the nose produces mucus in excess to get rid of the allergens.

Due to excessive mucus production, the thick sticky mucus may accumulate in the nose. Another cause can be sinus inflammation and infection. In this condition, the sinuses swell up along with mucus build up in the sinuses and there is mucus discharge from the nose that can be thick and sticky. Fungal rhino sinusitis can also be a cause. It refers to a sinus infection which is caused by fungus usually from mold or yeast. Other causes that may result in thick, sticky nasal mucus include dry environment (breathing in dry air mainly in winters can result in thick, sticky nasal mucus) and dehydration (it changes the consistency of nasal mucus from thin to thick, rubbery, sticky type). Depending on the reason behind thick, sticky discharge it can be attended with some other signs and symptoms. These include sneezing, stopped nose, headache, fever, body aches, weakness, itchy, watery eyes, PND (post nasal discharge means dripping of mucus from back of the nose into the throat), sore throat, cough, loss of smell and taste.

Blocked Nose troubling you at Night? Simple Homeopathic remedies will bring relief

Blocked nose at night can be quite uncomfortable and disturb a good night’s sleep. It can be caused by different reasons like flu, cold, allergies, polyps, etc. It is not that these conditions do not block the nose during the day, but while we lie down on the bed at night, the blockage of nose can worsen due to some reasons. Firstly, on lying down blood flow to the head increases which can lead to swollen blood vessels in nostrils that worsens stuffy nose. Secondly, lying flat on the bed at night in a person already having a stuffy nose might worsen the complaint. In the day, when standing or sitting, the  mucus keeps draining out from natural gravity pull.

But when lying flat in bed the body has to work against gravity and it becomes difficult for the sinus fluids to drain from nose. As a result fluid builds up in the nose that increases stuffiness. Another reason for blocked nose can be dry air in the room at night. To combat the dryness, nostrils may produce extra mucus to moisten nostrils which further add to the blockage. Blocked nose can be attended with symptoms like sneezing, nasal discharge, nasal irritation, post nasal discharge (PND), snoring, headache, sleep apnea (a sleep disorder in which momentary pauses in breathing occurs several times during sleep) depending on the cause behind it.

Top Homeopathic Medicines For Dry Nose

 Dryness in the nasal passage is medically known as rhinitis sicca. It can be uncomfortable yet harmless, and rarely serious. The inner membrane of the nasal passage secretes mucus daily. It lubricates the nasal cavity, moisturises the air so that it smoothly passes through the respiratory tract and traps dust, irritants and the germs that we may breathe in. If mucus production is not adequate or it dries up, it results in dry nose.

Sore throat means irritation, scratching sensation or pain in the throat.  Pharyngitis is an inflammation of the pharynx (back of the throat). Laryngitis refers to inflammation of the larynx (voice box).  Sinusitis means inflammation of the mucous membranes that lines the para nasal sinuses (air-filled spaces surrounding the nasal cavity).
