Why do people often have to blow his/her nose AFTER crying?

Question

Just need a reason why in relation to the senses of our bodies.

Answer 1

Well, tears go down your nose as well as down your cheeks and they wash out your nose to a certain extent, loosen mucous etc. One of the many reasons why crying is good for you!

Answer 2

simple, cos the eyes and nose and throat are connected by some vessel. not going scientific terms here, you might wanna look those up (an anatomy diagram or something), which also explains why when you have the flu or a stuffed nose - you can't smell and your mouth can't taste anything as well.
