ACUTE NASAL CATARRH
This is also called coryza, cold in the head and acute rhinopharyngitis. It is a very common condition in infants and small children and one that is readily recognized and easily handled chiropractically. It is very essential that we be able to distinguish between a simple acute nasal catarrh and the coryza which accompanies such conditions as measles, influenza, and nasal diphtheria. If in these conditions there is profuse discharge tinged with blood for two or three weeks, nasal diphtheria should be suspected, even though there are no other very serious symptoms. With a very young infant a persistent acute nasal catarrh may indicate syphilis. In such a case, a careful watch should be kept for more positive symptoms.
