I've had the sniffles for a good few months and never give them much thought, but they've gradually got a lot worse in recent weeks and having to blow my nose so often is beginning to get on my nerves. Anyone have/ had a similar problem, or know what the cause could be...perhaps related to a cold I had a few weeks ago?

Constantly needing to blow my nose
Hi WB haven't heard from you for a while.Your nose blowing may still be a hangover from your cold. My partner is still blowing his nose going into 4 weeks after his cold started.
Has anyone mentioned a nasal drip to you ? Do you have a cough ?
Many biologics have side effects listed of sinus issues. Could it be that? Seasonal? .. I rarely blow my nose from May to October then October to May I do quite a bit. Maybe just you’re taking a while to clear your cold. Hope it settles.
I have post nasal drip in response to biologics. Drives me crazy!!
Hi W/B if its been going on for awhile now & getting worst you may need a nasal spray &antihistamines. I have a nasal drip along with perennial rhinitis, deviated septum & have to take them daily & they really help cos it,s such a pain constantly blowing & having to always need tissues with you!!! If your nose gets sore a little vaseline around it helps sooth it.
If it doesn't improve in another week or so I'll try something. Can the things you mention be bought over the counter?
Not sure but the ones I use are citirizine hydrochloride antihistamine & nasal spray is mometasone furate. Yrs ago I used to have beconase spray & I know here it can now be bought over the counter. The a/h check the ingriedients on over the counter ones, good luck hope you get relief asap
It could be as simple as hayfever. Friends of mine say they are suffering now and one who has never previously had hayfever.
To echo lupus_01 it could be a hangover from your cold plus hayfever. I've been snivelling for a couple of weeks now because there's a veritable floral orgy going on out there. Massive amounts of katkins, oil seed rape etc are busy flinging pollen around and my nose doesn't appreciate it at all 😂
'Hayfever' has just started here. There is lots of pollen around with the avenue of lime trees nearby pouring it out and lots of lovely looking blooms on the shrubs -camillia, magnolia, winter jasmine. I find that I have to start medication for 'pollen allergy' much earlier now than I did years ago.
And yours may be on top of excess mucus production after the cold?
And for those who haven't come across it before 'post-nasal drip' is when the mucus keeps appearing from the back of your nose and drips into your throat!
HI ALL--------SOUNDS LIKE WE ARE ALL IN THE SAME BOAT-LOL.MY NOSE NEVER STOPS RUNNING AND I'M BLOWING MY NOSE SO MUCH IT'S GETTING SORE. THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS FOR ME IS ADVIL COLD AND SINUS AND I TAKE IT SPARINGLY , MAYBE ONCE OR TWICE A WEEK OR MAYBE NOT AT ALL. AT LEAST I GET A DAY OR TWO OF RELIEF. IT HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY BAD THIS YEAR AND I AM NEVER WITHOUT KLEENEX . IF ANYONE HAS A MIRACLE CURE LET ME KNOW--------
Hi there
I was on biologics for last 9 months and noticed that nose would drip without warning which could be a bit embarrassing.now have stopped Benepali problem has stopped!Very odd side effect,but was the only one.so continued until recently,but as Benepali did not work for me now on JAK which so far has no side effects and seems to be working already.
