What to do if your nose is dry and painful

There are many reasons for dry and sore nose, but most people will suffer from dry and sore nose in autumn and winter. Because the dry climate takes away all the moisture from the human body, the nose may be the first to feel it. Some people have dry and painful nasal cavity and even peeling due to not drinking water frequently. Some people may experience dry and painful nose due to other diseases, which can be caused by many reasons.

For people who often suffer from dry and painful noses in autumn and winter, they must pay attention to replenishing the body with appropriate amount of water. Otherwise, if they are in a dry environment for a long time, the dry and painful nose will become more and more serious. Especially for some elderly friends, as the body's metabolism slows down, the degree of dry and painful nose will also increase. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, autumn is dry, and the human body's yang energy is also strong, which makes it easy to get angry as the saying goes.

Recently, I discovered this wonderful way to relieve a dry and sore nose while drinking water at my desk: the steam from the hot water in the cup. Place a cup of hot water under the nose, and breathe in and out alternately through the nose and mouth. The hot steam will enter the nostrils, thereby warming the inside of the nasal cavity, improving the dry environment inside the nasal cavity, and the nose will immediately feel much more comfortable. During this process, you should pay special attention to the strength of your exhalation and inhalation, because if the hot water is very hot, when you take a deep breath, your nasal cavity will not be able to withstand the high-temperature hot steam in an instant, which may damage your nose and make you feel uncomfortable. Also remember to breathe as gently as possible to avoid hurting your nose. You can try it out to see if it works. By the way, putting a cup of hot water on your desk will change the dry environment of the office area, which is good for your nose.

In addition, some health websites say that dry nose can be relieved and treated through massage and medication. At the same time, you should pay attention to improving your living and working environment, strengthen personal protection, avoid inhaling dry and dusty air; quit smoking and drinking, and get rid of the bad habit of picking your nose; keep your nasal cavity clean and moist; eat more foods rich in vitamins, and keep your bowels open; eat less spicy, fried and other irritating foods, and eat more pineapple beer, aged vinegar, wild chrysanthemum, and purple cabbage.

In order to relieve the dry and painful nose, we have put forward some relatively simple methods above, hoping that they will be helpful to you. Secondly, everyone should also pay attention to adding more green vegetables to their meals, which can not only supplement the body with nutrition, but also effectively relieve the symptoms of dehydration in the body. It is really a best of both worlds.
