How much "snot" can someone have when they have a cold? I keep blowing my nose, and it won't go away. Why?

Answer 1

The mucus produced in an upper respiratory infection is part of the body's natural defenses. It helps to wash away irritants and infectious organisms, and the more irritated the area is, the greater the flow of mucus, and the quantities can be considerable.

The tissues that produce mucus are often swollen in such infections and because there is so much more fluid in the tissues, the mucus is thinner and in greater quantity than normal.

It's annoying, but it is happening for a good reason.

Answer 2

Guess what..believe it or not, your nose makes a cup of snot a day. When you have a cold your nose has a responsibility to keep the germs out of your lungs and your body so it's goes into overdrive. An antihistamine or a decongestant will help dry some of it up.

Answer 3

Thank God you can't see me because you are going to think that I am crazy!!!!!!! Why it won't go away-I don't know, but I can tell you how to get it to go away. I had the same problem not too long ago, and I'm a fool for new things and was shocked......it really worked. Get a little bit of lard and heat it up on a spoon over the stove fire--not too hot---warm. Drop a couple drops in each nostril and you are snot free..Cool, huh? I should be a doctor.
