The nasal cavity is made up of superior turbinate, superior meatus, middle turbinate, middle meatus, inferior turbinate, inferior and superior meatus, and paranasal cavity. It is a complex structure lined with mucous tissues.

The nasal membrane tissues create a cavernous body which is malleable and able to expand or contract.  The sinus cavity has a function like a radiator by expanding and contracting to adjust the temperature of the air coming into the cavity. When the infected mucous tissues are inflamed, they swell or thicken and expand its size like a balloon. 

  If you have a cold, for instance, your nasal mucous tissues enlarge and narrow the airways. This is called nasal obstruction and can block the whole cavity. Using nasal spray at this stage will contract the mucous tissues and the nasal blocking will be improved… only slightly and temporarily. The use of a nasal spray cannot be continued or encouraged after a certain short period of time. After such period of time, however, the infected area cannot be left untreated. The urgency to treat it properly should not be forgotten.

Mucous tissues consist of epidermis (skin) and tissues. Underneath, combined work of capillary vessels, nerve terminals, olfactory nerves and many endocrine gland cells that secrete nasal drips exist so that you can sense smell and breathe.

When inflammation occurs, excessive watery mucus is secreted from the cells of glands. Once it started to drip onto the throat (post nasal drip) it is very difficult to stop it. The only way to tackle this is to use an effective SopinX-09 to suppress the bacterial inflammation.

The mucous tissues in the nasal cavity have an important role to protect the tissues from contamination by bacteria or disease germs. The surface of the mucous tissues is covered by cilia, which has the excretory function to send off drips, foreign matters and germs toward the gular region (throat). When one has cold or flu, however, the nasal epidermis (surface membrane) is damaged with numerous wounds. From the wounds, pyogenic (pus-producing) bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococci enter (bacterial infection) and cause inflammation. This is what’s happening to the person who just had cold or flu.

Staphylococcus aureus is one of the indigenous bacteria in sinus cavity. If you already have chronic sinus condition, you should be reminded to take extra care not to catch cold, to prevent from worsening the condition. A healthier mucous membrane means everything to the healthy sinus condition.
