But just one morningafter Huahua woke upfeeling a sore and itchy nose span>I only found out when I touched ita large pustule was bulging out of the nasal cavityHuahua thought it was an acnewithout hesitation squeeze out
Not long after, Huahua started to have a fever
According to the doctor’s introductionThe big pustules in the nasal cavity of Huahuanot ordinary acnebut because of Huahua Frequent picking of nostrilsformed nasal vestibular furuncleand the rough handling of Huahuapus retrograde into the skullcaused Intracranial infectioncausing her to develop cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis
Doctor explained that the human body itself has a complete blood-brain barrier , under normal circumstances, it is difficult for germs to enter the skull, but there is a “small road” that is easily overlooked, and that is the face.“Danger triangle”< /strong>. It takes the root of the bridge of a person’s nose as the vertex and forms a triangular area formed by connecting the corners of the mouth on both sides.
This area is rich in blood vessels and passes through the cavernous sinus and intracranial connected. At the same time, the cavernous sinus also acts as a “communication hub” for blood vessels and nerves in the head. The blood of many veins in the brain and the central retinal vein converges here; many nerves also pass through here. Nostril picking with uncleaned hands is very likely to bring bacteria and other pathogens to the nasal mucosa, causing infection in the dangerous triangle (such as boils) , and then the infected area is squeezed or impacted, and the infection can spread from the rich vascular network here, enter the cavernous sinus, and cause intracranial infection. Once intracranial infection is caused, it will cause cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis, which will be life-threatening!
Pick your nose, you can’t stop it
It is said that91% of people pick their nose span>And the remaining 9% may be digging quietlyThen the question isWhere did the booger come from? Why do you want to dig more and more? Today I will give you some popular science!
Do you understand?
Our nasal cavity is full of mucus glands
produces mucus constantly
These secretions appear
mainly to ensure that the dry air inhaled is moistened
Will not irritate the respiratory tract
At the same time block foreign dust and germs
With our breath
plus dust will be mixed in
just like this
< p>“Boogers” formed
How can the fragile nasal cavity stand up
Stimulation of such a hard booger
plus blocking the smooth flow of breathing
so the hands will be affected The brain’s instructions
Cut out
The moment I saw the boogerI felt betterbut In case the nails cut the nasal mucosainjured the capillariesnosebleedsall kinds of bacteria will also come to “join in the fun” So don’t pick your noseIt’s not good for the nose after all
How to clean the nose properly
Ordinary secretions in the nasal cavity do not need to be cleaned every day, and the nose hair itself has a certain self-cleaning ability.
When cleaning up nasal mucus and booger, you can rinse with running water, or use a household nasal wash.
If there is a hard object in the nasal cavity, you can use a soft cleaning cotton swab dipped in a little clean water or light salt water, and gently roll to clean.
What should I do if I get a nosebleed?
It is easy to pick out nosebleeds when you pick your nose. Many people will raise their heads to try to prevent the blood from coming out when they have a nosebleed. This is actually the wrong way to deal with it! Organs such as the nose, throat, throat, and stomach are all connected. When we have a nosebleed, we can tilt our head up and back up the blood from our nostrils into our throat, causing a cough. It flows into the stomach, irritating the stomach, causing nausea, nausea and other uncomfortable feelings, and the bloody smell of the brain may linger for a long time. It can flow into the trachea and lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia, and even suffocation life-threatening.

The Right Way to Deal with a Nosebleed
Calm
Although a nosebleed may seem scary, it’s usually not serious , as long as it is handled properly, the bleeding will stop within a period of time, so relax and keep calm.
Sit upright
Find a chair to sit down and avoid moving your body.
Lower your head
Lean your upper body forward and bow your head slightly.
Pinch the nose
Whether it is a nosebleed from one nostril or both sides, pinch our nose with your fingers For 5-10 minutes on both sides, during this period, try not to let go to check the bleeding of the nose, otherwise it will lead to “misjudgment” if the blood is not completely stopped.
Open your mouth
Open your mouth and use your mouth instead of your nose to breathe. If blood flows into your mouth, spit it out.
ice compress
Apply a small ice pack or ice towel to the nose to help stop bleeding. Helps constrict blood vessels to reduce bleeding.
In case of nasal discomfort >Or repeated nosebleeds and blood in the noseGo to the ENT department for treatment as soon as possibleDon’t delay the disease
The ultimate problem : Will picking your nose make your nose bigger?
Generally not. Most of the nostrils are fixed after the development is completed, and they will not become larger due to frequent nose picking. Of course, except when there are lesions, such as inflammation, the nose may become larger, but that is also Temporarily, it will return to normal when the inflammation subsides. But that doesn’t mean you can continue to pick your nostrils recklessly.
After all, picking the nose itself is indecent, and it may also be Nosebleeds, nasal infections and many other hidden dangers, so you still have to control your restless little hands, don’t dig, don’t dig!
