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.

Because it’s not full of snot or boogers, it’s inflamed and constricted.
Imagine your nostrils are a hosepipe. The flow through that hosepipe can be restricted in one of two ways:
* something inside the hose cause a blockage
* something outside the hose, squeezing on it.
When you have a cold your nostrils are being squeezed by the inflammation, so they are narrower than they would normally be. And no amount of blowing your nose will fix that, you have to wait to get better.

Because it’s mostly due to swollen and dilated blood vessels that are pushing against surrounding tissue, therefore narrowing the passageway.
