I know how to blow my nose, hold a nostril shut and blow hard through the other, so I do it correctly and hard. But Nothing ever comes out. I blow real hard and just air is comming out my nose, no mucous. Its been this way for years. I saw people at restaurants when they are done eating, they blow their nose and loads of mucous comes out. family members blow their nose more than once a day and they have lots of mucous come out ( they do not have congestion or cough like some people do, They dont have alot of congestion no more than I do, they dont smoke) I get flem in my throat like when I eat something spicy, so I know I'm producing mucous, but it never comes out the nose. Usually they take a hot shower or steam bath, or eat spicy spaghetti and they blow mucous out their nose like crazy. I take a hot shower and blow my nose and still, nothing comes out. I had a nose job about 15 years ago, so I dont remember a time when I could. WHY?

No Mucous and your complaining! LOL If you were blowing out mucous, you'd be complaining more as the mucous is there when a person is unhealthy. It's normally associated with the common cold and flu. For many people, it never ends as the cold and flu seasons are now too close together and many people suffer all year. By the time you get rid of the last flu virus, you're likely to have caught either the next flu virus or the latest cold. From what you have said, you haven't had a cold or flu for some time as regardless of any operation, the mucous that is sneezed or blown has cold or flu virus in it. It's the body's way of defending itself. The little hairs in your nose trap dirty air and bacteria etc. to prevent it entering your body. When a cold or flu virus gets into your body, the mucous is created to trap the virus and allow you to cough it, sneeze it out etc.

As you can see from our answers, consider yourself lucky. The grass is not always greener in the other people's yard. But it seems like the mucous is greener in other people's yards. If your nose feels dry because of this, you can put some Vaseline inside your nostrils.
