Why does your nose get stuffier the more you blow it?

545 views

Allergies are killing me right now and when my nose finally starts running, I’ll blow all the snot out, and my nose will clog completely again for another five minutes. Rinse, repeat. Why? What’s a good cure?

Lots of the time, it’s not mucus that’s blocking your sinuses, it’s inflammation of the passage itself. So the more you irritate it by blowing, the more it stays inflamed.

I have no solutions other than sinus medicine and time.
