Watery, thick, green, yellow rhinitis - the course of rhinitis
Małgorzata Kruk (MPharm)
Rhinitis is one of the first symptoms of an infection of the upper respiratory tract. Rhinitis, in the course of the common cold can change – it is sometimes watery or thick and yellow or green in colour. Do you know what is the most common course of rhinitis during a typical common cold?
As a result of a viral infection, the permeability of fine blood vessels of the nasal mucous membrane decreases. Therefore, rhinitis at the beginning of an infection is watery. After a few days, rhinitis becomes thicker and chronic. If the infection is not complicated, namely a bacterial infection did not occur, thick rhinitis signals the end of the common cold. On the other hand, green or yellow rhinitis may indicate a bacterial infection, whose causes need to be treated. Bacteria should be eliminated from the body using antibacterial medications prescribed by a physician.
