CORYZA Meaning and
Definition
-
Coryza is a medical term that refers to the inflammation and irritation of the mucous membranes lining the nasal passages. It is commonly known as a head cold or the common cold.
The symptoms of coryza typically include nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing, and a sensation of stuffiness or blockage in the nasal passages. These symptoms are often accompanied by a postnasal drip, which can cause a sore throat, coughing, and the need to clear the throat frequently. Additionally, coryza may cause a decrease in the sense of smell and taste.
Coryza is primarily caused by viral infections, most commonly the rhinovirus. It is highly contagious and can be spread through direct contact with infected individuals or by coming into contact with surfaces contaminated with the virus. The onset of coryza symptoms is usually gradual and may last for a few days to a week.
Treatment for coryza focuses on relieving the symptoms rather than eliminating the underlying viral infection. This can include over-the-counter nasal decongestants or antihistamines to reduce nasal congestion and improve breathing. Pain relievers may be used to alleviate headaches or facial pain associated with coryza. Adequate rest, hydration, and maintaining good personal hygiene practices, such as handwashing, are also recommended to aid in recovery and prevent the spread of the infection.

Etymology of CORYZA
The word "coryza" traces its origin to the Greek language. It comes from the Greek word "korun" (κορυνη), which means "head" or "upper part of the body", and "rhoia" (ροία), which means "flow" or "discharge". When combined, they form "korunrhoia", meaning "discharge from the head". This term was later adapted into Latin as "coryza" and has been used in medical terminology to refer to an inflammation of the mucous membranes of the nose, commonly known as a cold or a runny nose.
