Cause

Cause of nasal discharge

Suppur infection (30%):

Pathogens invade the body's blood circulation and grow or reproduce in them, causing serious symptoms of systemic infection or symptoms of poisoning, collectively referred to as systemic infections. Septicum is most commonly secondary to severe and contaminated wounds, as well as purulent infections in the body.

Diabetes (30%):

Eating too much, obesity caused by reduced physical activity is the most important environmental factor for type 2 diabetes, making individuals with genetic susceptibility to type 2 diabetes prone to disease. Patients with type 1 diabetes have abnormalities in the immune system, causing autoimmune reactions and destroying insulin beta cells after infection with certain viruses such as Coxsackie virus, rubella virus, and sputum adenovirus.

Immunity (30%):

Physical weakness is more common, and it is easy to recur, the pathogen is mostly Staphylococcus aureus.

Prevention
