Sore nose

Nasal pain and nose pain can be bothersome and painful. Nasal pain can be caused by a cold, sinusitis, rhinitis, muscle tension in the jaw (i.a. chewing myalgia) and / or neck, dental problems, nerve irritation (eg trigeminal neuralgia) or trauma.

One of the most common causes is sinusitis, which can occur, for example, from a cold or flu. rhinitis (inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose) is also a fairly common cause of sore nose - and can occur acutely, idiopathically or as an allergic reaction. Dislocated nasal wall, poor dental hygiene, TMJ syndrome, nerve problems and infection are also conditions that can cause nose pain. More rare causes can be migraines, herpes or fibromyalgia - or major infections.

Where and what is the nose really?

The nose is a body that combines breath and smell.

Nasal anatomy

In the picture we see the anatomy of the inside of the nose, as well as some of the most important anatomical landmarks. The frontal sinus is the anterior sinus and the sphenoidal sinus is deeper.

When muscles and joints hurt in the nasal region

Masseter (the large masticatory muscle) and pterygoid myalgia - Photo Travell and Simons

Image: In the picture we see some of the most important muscular causes of pain in the face and pain in the nasal region. Overexertion in the large masticatory muscle and the inner jaw muscles are called, respectively masseter myalgia and pterygoid myalgia. Myalgia simply indicates muscular dysfunction or muscular tension. Tight jaw muscles can also help or aggravate headache.

Image: As you can see in the picture, sternocleidomastoid myalgia can also cause facial pain and aches in the forehead. This can be exacerbated by malfunction of the muscles and joints of the neck, upper back and shoulder. Other known myalgias that can contribute to facial pain are upper trapezius myalgia, suboccipitalis and temporalis.

What is pain?

Pain is the body's way of saying that you have injured yourself or are about to hurt you. This is an indication that you are doing something wrong. Not listening to the body's pain signals is really asking for trouble, as this is its only way to communicate that something is wrong. This applies to pain and aches all over the body, not just back pain as so many people think. If you do not take the pain signals seriously, it can lead to long-term problems, and you risk the pain becoming chronic. Naturally, there is a difference between tenderness and pain - most of us can tell the difference between the two.

When the pain is attenuated, it is necessary to weed out the cause of the problem.

Some common causes / diagnoses of nose pain are:

Acute rhinitis (inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose that occurs suddenly)

Allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose caused by allergens)

Sinus problems

Poor dental health - cavities or gum disease

Cold

Offset nose (if the thin leg separating the nostrils is not in the middle, then it is considered offset)

Idiopathic rhinitis (mucosal inflammation of the nose for unknown reasons)

Flu

Joint Restraints in Jaw

Mild infection

Myalgia / muscular malfunction (eg. masseter myalgia)

Nasal bone fracture

Sinonasal disease

Referred pain from the jaw and jaw muscles (i.a. masseter (gum) myalgia may cause referred pain or 'pressure' against the cheeks)

sinusitis / sinusitis

TMJ syndrome (temporomandibular syndrome - often composed of muscle and joint dysfunction)

Trauma (biting, irritation, burns and the like)

Pain in the teeth

Rare causes of nose pain:

Fibromyalgia

Infection (often with high CRP and fever)

Cancer

Nervous pain (including trigeminal neuralgia)

Trigeminal neuralgia

Be careful not to get a sore nose for a long time, rather consult a clinician and diagnose the cause of the pain - this way you will make the necessary changes as early as possible before it has a chance to develop further.

Reported symptoms and pain presentations in the nose pain:

Inflammation of the nose or nostrils

Swelling can occur around a trauma or through an infection.

- Headaches can occur caused by sinusitis.

- Nasal congestion (nasal stenosis) can occur with rhinitis, sinusitis and similar mucosal irritations.

- Pressure tenderness over the jaw joint near the ear may indicate defects in muscular or joint function.

Conservative treatment of pain in the jaw (which can be a cause of pain in the nose)

home Practice is often printed and used to address improper use of musculature, with the intention of providing a long-term, long-lasting effect. Ultrasound can be used both diagnostically and as ultrasound therapy, the latter works by providing a deep-warming effect aimed at musculoskeletal problems. Joint Mobilization or corrective chiropractic joint treatment increases the movement of the joints, which in turn allows the muscles that attach to and near the joints to move more freely. Chiropractic joint therapy is often combined with muscle work in the treatment of TMJ syndrome and jaw tension.

Massage It is used to increase blood circulation in the area and thus reduce muscular tension, which in turn can cause less pain. heat treatment used to give a deep-warming effect on the area in question, which in turn can give a pain-reducing effect - but it is generally said that heat treatment should not be applied to acute injuries, as is ice treatment to prefer. The latter is used for acute injuries and pains to help ease the pain in the area. laser treatment (also known as anti-inflammatory laser) can be used at different frequencies and thus achieve different treatment effects. It is often used to stimulate regeneration and soft tissue healing, plus it can also be used anti-inflammatory.

Chiropractic treatment of jaw pain (as a possible cause of nose pain)

The main goal of all chiropractic care is to reduce pain, promote overall health and improve quality of life by restoring normal functioning of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system. In case of jaw pain, the chiropractor will treat the jaw locally to reduce pain, reduce irritation and increase blood supply, as well as restore normal movement in nearby structures such as the neck, thoracic spine and shoulder. When choosing a treatment strategy for the individual patient, the chiropractor places emphasis on seeing the patient in a holistic context. If there is a suspicion that the jaw pain is due to another disease, you will be referred for further examination.

The chiropractor treatment consists of a number of treatment methods where the chiropractor mainly uses his hands to restore normal function of the joints, muscles, connective tissue and nervous system:

- Specific joint treatment
- Stretches
- Muscular techniques (many use both trigger point therapy and dry needling)
- Neurological techniques
- Stabilizing exercise
- Exercises, advice and guidance

What does a chiropractor do?

Muscle, joint and nerve pain: These are things that a chiropractor can help prevent and treat. Chiropractic treatment is mainly about restoring movement and joint function that can be impaired by mechanical pain.

This is done by so-called joint correction or manipulation techniques, as well as joint mobilization, stretching techniques, and muscular work (such as trigger point therapy and deep soft tissue work) on the involved muscles. With increased function and less pain, it may be easier for individuals to engage in physical activity, which in turn will have a positive effect on both energy and health.

Women's advice against sore nose

We choose to bring some rubbish advice against pain in the nose. We have also tried to understand the meaning behind them and thus put a little explanation in brackets.

- Drink ginger tea (Ginger reduces muscle pain)
- Fruits and vegetables - 10 a day! (A high intake of fruits and vegetables provides nutrients to help fight the ailments)
- Rest in the sun (The sun provides the basis for vitamin D. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to increased muscle pain)
- red bell pepper powder (Red bell pepper has among the very highest content of vitamin C)
- Eat blueberries (Blueberries have a pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effect)
- Eat onions and garlic (This one we are not sure about, but we assume it should have some kind of dissolving effect on the sinuses?)
- Hot drink and soup (Should help to resolve mucosal irritation)

Frequently Asked Questions About Nose Pain:

Feel free to post one on our facebook page or via the comment field below, right?

Can you get chafing inside your nose?

A very natural cause of sores or abrasions that you write inside the nose is - naturally enough - picking snot and pimples with your finger. This picking can cause you to damage the thin walls inside the nose, as a result of which can become sore and tender - much like with abrasions. Prolonged picking can also lead to nosebleeds. Our proposal; stop poking your nose.
