A runny or congested nose can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as inflammation caused by fungi. And sometimes cerebrospinal fluid can leak from the nose. Candidate of Medical Sciences, ENT doctor of the highest category Vladimir Zaitsev talked about this “Evening Moscow”.
Zaitsev named chronic vasomotor rhinitis as the most common cause of nasal congestion. However, the lower nasal turbinate becomes inflamed and its tone decreases. A clear or whitish liquid comes out of the cavity. Also, the cause of congestion may be allergies or taking medications, for example, medications for mucus outflow with cyclamen juice. They cause nasal discharge by irritating one of the branches of the trigeminal nerve extending to the inferior turbinate. Fungal pathogens can also cause a runny nose.
“Sometimes there is a runny nose due to nasal fluid. “In this case, the cerebrospinal fluid flows from the person’s nose, not from the nasal discharge,” said the doctor.
For any runny nose, you need to consult a doctor if self-treatment does not help in the first days.
