Runny Nose

Summary 

Rhinitis or Rhinorrhea are medical terms often associated or referred as Runny Nose. Runny nose is a common but a troublesome condition. This condition arises due to excessive mucus formation which accumulates in the sinus (eye sockets, cheekbones, and forehead) or the air passage. Sinus region is a cave-like structure present behind the bones of the face and is connected to the nasal passage where mucus is gets accumulated. Mucus is formed in the body because of the invasion and presence of a colony of viruses of common cold or flu. The main symptom of a runny nose is the production of white liquid mucus usually (transparent or translucent in nature) runs down the nasal passage along with some sneezing and redness in the nose area. This condition is cured on its own and mostly does not require medical intervention.

It has been observed that excess mucus formation may also cause throat pain, throat inflammation, and cough. A runny nose often gets cured on its own requiring minimal medical intervention but it can also be an indicator of some undiagnosed underlying medical condition. Read on to find out more.
