Meaning and Origin:
Rhinorrhea is a medical term that refers to a runny nose, characterized by the excessive flow of clear or colored nasal fluid.
The term originated from the Greek words ῥίς (rhís), meaning "nose," and ῥοία (rhoía), meaning "flow." Rhinorrhea can be caused by a variety of factors, including allergies, infections, colds, and sinus problems. It is often a symptom of allergic rhinitis or hay fever, which is an inflammatory condition of the nasal passages caused by an allergic reaction to allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander.
Rhinorrhea can also be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition, such as a nasal polyp or a skull base tumor. In these cases, it is important to seek medical attention to investigate the cause of the rhinorrhea and receive appropriate treatment.
