Why does snot hurt your nose when you have a cold?!


Question: The mucous itself does not hurt, however the constant moisture causes breakdown of the skin at the junction with the face. This can become secondarily infected with bacteria and the raw area produced is sensitive and tender. The mucosa inside the nose also becomes inflamed.

coz if it hurt your bum it be diarrhoea

Its the pressure of the mucus on your sinuses x

I don't think it's the snot it's wiping the snot away that makes your nose sore.

It's the pressure on your sinuses that causes the pain.

Constant rubbing your nose with a tissue will cause it to become raw and sore. Silk handkerchiefs are meant to prevent this, though I am not rich enough to have any. There are also tissues impregnated with Aloe which help to relieve the soreness.

I've got a stinking cold at the moment and everything hurts.
What a total waste of time and makes you feel horrid.
Sore nose and headaches
