What are the harms of mucus to the human body?
Under normal circumstances, mucus does not cause harm to the human body, but if it is not cleaned in time, it may lead to nasal congestion, dizziness, impaired sense of smell, and other hazards.
Nasal Congestion: If mucus is not cleaned in time, it is likely to accumulate in the nasal cavity, which over time can affect the patient's normal breathing and inhalation.
Dizziness: More severe nasal congestion may also lead to a slower heart rate, affecting blood supply to the heart, resulting in brain hypoxia, and thus causing dizziness.
Impaired Sense of Smell: If nasal congestion is severe, patients may have difficulty recognizing smells or be unable to smell them at all.
Apart from the above-mentioned hazards, there are also hazards such as reduced sleep quality. If a patient has a runny nose, they should immediately clean it with tissue. To prevent nasal infections, they can also use a cotton swab to wipe the nasal cavity to avoid residue. It is also necessary to find out the cause of the runny nose and then carry out targeted treatment. Before the condition is fully recovered, patients should wear a mask when going out, pay attention to keeping warm, be mindful of the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors, and add or remove clothing in a timely manner, otherwise, it may lead to a worsening of the runny nose and affect recovery.
