2 Part question about runny nose and the common cold

health advisory Hospital Health advisory 2007-11-16 3:41:20

if i have a runny nose, and i dont blow my nose, but instead sniff it back in, does that make me more sick?

and if i do blow it, does it make me heal faster?

if i dont do anything, no medicine or anything, will i eventually get better? or will i eventually deteriorate into worse health?

Answer:

sniffing the mucous back in could potentially make you more sick . the body excretes mucous as a defense and expells the germs. If your body has a low immune system, yes, you are more likely to not heal as quickly as someone with a strong immune system. the only thing that will cure the common cold is fluids, vitamins, and rest, and in sever cases - antibiotics. over the counter drugs only mask the symptoms of a cold while your body recooperates on its own.

it all depends on your body and the way it fights illness. everyone is different.


if you sniff it in youll get a sinus infection

it would be better to blow it out but it doesnt meen youll heal faster

and medicine is probaly better to use then not using any at all
