Runny nose - a protective reaction of the body to irritation of the nasal mucosa. Such irritants can be dust, allergens, viruses and bacteria in our environment. Together with the inhaled air, they enter the body, and the first obstacle in their path is the reaction in the form of swelling of the nasal mucosa (edema) and the secretion of mucus from the sinuses. In cold weather, you can also feel swelling inside the nose, which narrows the nasal passage. This allows you to warm the inhaled air, slowly passing it through the narrow nasal sinuses.
Then it turns out that, having cured a runny nose, we will lose protection, and all he alth-threatening factors will be able to freely enter the body.
