Can Someone Tell Me What I Have? Nose Illness
Posted: 10-06-03 17:14pm

Ok, whenever I get sick (it's that time again) the back of my nose gets really dry, and it's hard to get phlem and mucus through it. It gets really irritated and dry, and I constantly have to swallow to keep it somewhat tolerable. When I go to sleep I can't keep swallowing so when I wake up it kills. I hate this, I know when it's comin' everytime I get it, but don't know the name of it. I think I should get one of those humidifier things, so it doesn't dry at night. Does anyone know what this is called, and some treatments to ease it, thanks.

A humidifier should work. When I get sick like that I also take a pot of hot water (be careful) and put two or three back tea bags in it. Then sit over it with a towel over my head. This always helps my head drain without all the nose blowing. I would also make sure you use some serious moisturizer around your nose area to keep it from getting too dry. Hope this helps.

I have the very same problem. It hurts so much, I wish I could get rid of this problem.

Try using a saline solution nose spray. This should also help.
