When sick with a cold. Why is it you can blow your nose infinitely and your nose will still get near immediately clogged

210 views

Does blowing your nose actually help with this at all? If I keep doing it, will it eventually stay open so I can breathe? Whats the purpose it just comes RIGHT back. I just want to sleep 🙁

Edit: What I learned is my nose has a boner which makes sense because I’m completely surrounded by sticky tissues.

I also learned that reddit got some pretty good otc medicine cold cures that are very helpful.

Overall thank you everyone.

eat some horseradish sauce or something spicy. or even just hold your breath for as long as you can.

it creates a panic response and opens both nostrils. you normal only breath through one nostril at a time.

your nose gets plugged for the same reason men get an erection. blood flow is restricted and the vessels get engorged. making a smaller opening with which to breath through
