How is it possible to have a runny nose and be able to blow it for hours upon hours?

When you get a runny/ stuffy nose, how is it possible for you to never blow your nose enough to clear all the mucus out? Where does the mucus come from a gland??? Weird question I know....lol

In other words, how come you can't blow your nose enough to get rid of a stuffy/ runny nose?

I have Clartin and all that stuff....I'm just wondering where does all the snot come from....if you took the volume of snot my nose can produced compared to the size of my nose. It would be ridiculously large, where is the snot prior to entering my nose.

I had this problem as a child and can recommend two things you can try. One of them is to gargle with warm salt water, let it slip past the back of your throat and then blow it out through your nose. Yes, it does take some practice, but if you are successful you will have a cleaned out feeling and your nose will be free and clear for awhile, plus the warm salt water is soothing to the membranes. The other thing is to plug your nose with cotton or t.p., because wiping your nose a lot irritates the skin and makes it red.As for where it comes from, I think it is a combination of spit made by your saliva glands and white blood cells fighting an infection, but maybe some medical type could explain it better, in any case there are lots of cavities in your face behind your nose and that is why there is a lot more snot than if it was only in your nostrils.
