My nose won't stop running. Help?

Question

Before I go to the doctor, I thought I'd ask on here first-

For the last 3 years, my nose has been running constantly. I am never far from a box of tissues, I always have tissues stuffed in coat pockets; jean pockets; drawers; glove box; everywhere! If I go out anywhere, regardless if it's warm or cold, my nose runs and I freak out if I don't have tissues handy. I can't sit down to watch TV without a tissue at the ready. It has become so much part of my life now, that everyone jokes about it.
I have looked it up in medical books but it doesn't really tell me what is wrong? I know it could be allergies (I have got many pets and have had animals since I was a kid but it is only in the last few years that this has started happening) but I am very close to going to the docs to have it sorted cuz it is driving me up the wall.
Any help would be really great?

Answer 1

People with sinus problems (including me!) have had great success with a Neti Pot. It involves pouring salinated water through the nostrils, effectively 'washing' the nasal cavities.
It sounds odd, and I'm usually the first person to pooh-pooh alternative treatments, but it genuinely did make an improvement for me - wouldn't be without my Neti now!
I ordered mine online (it was relatively inexpensive), and you can find more details on the practice here; http://www.jalanetipot.com/
Of course, I recommend visiting your doctor first to clarify exactly what the problem is.
Good luck!

Ok, this is not intended to alarm you but when you said you'd had the problem for 3 years i thought i should mention this.

I once watched an episode of that hospital programme they used to show on BBC1 in the mornings (Nadia Sawalha used to present it). ANyway there was a woman on there with the same problem - persistent runny nose. She couldnt figure out what was causing it. Turned out she had brain fluid leaking from her head through her nose!!
She had an operation and problem was sorted.

Its not necessatil what you have of course, maybe you just have allergies, but its a possibility.

Doctors should shed some light - hope docs visit goes well.

Answer 3

It sounds like you have hayfever. It can be caused by pollen in the air, dog hairs, dust or anything like that.

I suffer from the same thing, although it has gotten better over the years. They say you grow out of it, i'm still waiting!!

You can get sprays that will help you of even tablets. You should go to your doctor and see what the best thing is for you.

There are good tablets out called Piriton, you can only take one a day, but take them at night cos they can make you drowsy. But talk to your doctor, it would be worth it.

Answer 4

Try taking some over the counter claritin for a few days, if problem isnt resolved, see your doctor. You may need something stronger like allegra or zyrtec. Possibly a steroid nose spray. Could just be allergic to your pets, but medication should help alleviate your symptoms.

Answer 5

Yeah! like major allergies, Dude. And you've put up with this for 3 yr. Go to Doc do not stop go

Answer 6

The best solution is to gain control over it. As someone already said, stop when you're getting there and relax. Pay more attention to pleasuring your mate--orally, perhaps--and avoid rubbing your penis up against anything while doing so. It will take work on your part and patience on both parts.

As a last resort, some antidepressants curb sexual functioning with the intention of learning the pleasure of restraint after which you could taper off them. Here's your goal: the longer you can delay your orgasm, the more intense it will be. So it isn't just a matter of satisfying your mate. This is the main reason some claim stoned sex is better, unlike drunk sex which can leave you unable to perform (brewer's droop). You enjoy exploring each other longer. And remember, oral isn't just one place. It's all over, paying particular attention to kissing, and TALK about what each of you like. Strange how people don't talk about sex when they're the ones doing it.

I used to suffer the same affliction, its not pleasent, your right about allergies, it could be dust, dust mites, etc, the thing that cured me was to get my sinuses done, I know that wasn`t pleasent either but it worked, see the doctor asap, dont suffer any longer

Answer 10

YOU NEED TO GO TO AN ALLERGY DOCTOR TO FIND OUT WHAT YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO.
I ALSO SUFFERED FROM A RUNNY NOSE FOR AT LEAST 10YRS. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND THE DOCTOR PRESCRIBED SOME MEDICATIONS AND INFORMED ME OF WHAT I WAS ALLERGIC TO ACCORDING TO MY RESULTS FROM AN ALLERGY TEST. MY RUNNY NOSE IS NO LONGER AN EVERDAY PROBLEM ANYMORE.
