Catarrh Introduction

Catarrh is a mucus discharge, which may be thick or thin and can become infected. Catarrh is a symptom of a disease or infection. If the catarrh is chronic it may be a symptom of an allergy. The best way to get rid of catarrh is to understand its underlying cause.

The conventional drug treatment is decongestants which should only be used for the short term. There are non-drug catarrh remedies that are safer for adults and children. These include homeopathic, home and natural remedies. They can be helpful in easing the symptoms of runny nose, stuffy nose or swollen sinuses.

Causes of Catarrh

Catarrh can be a symptom of various illnesses. The most common is a cold. The nasal discharge starts out watery but may become thick and yellow. Hay fever or rhinitis can cause a clear discharge, which is also accompanied by sneezing and itchy eyes. An allergy may cause catarrh with similar symptoms. The allergy may be to a particular food, animal dander or pollen. A case of the flu can bring on catarrh, which is accompanied by achy joints, fever and headache.

Catarrh and Earache

Earaches often develop from an infection such as a cold or sinusitis. It is important to treat earaches immediately before they can extend into the middle or inner ear where serious complications may arise. Often an earache is associated with catarrh, an irritation of the membranes of the nose and throat.

Home remedies are a great 'first defense' against earaches. You can often stop the ache and cure the infection before any serious matters arise. Always consult your physician when attempting any home remedy or natural therapy.

CONCLUSION

Eliminate catarrh and nasal and sinus congestion. Catarrh and nasal and sinus congestion are indications that the respiratory system elimination routes are overwhelmed and not working well. The load can be taken off this elimination route - as well as the other elimination routes of the body with proper colon cleansing.
