Cold season often causes nasal irritation due to inflammation, mucus production, and frequent nose blowing. ENTs recommend using saline sprays, emollients, and humidifiers to maintain moisture, while advising gentle nose-blowing techniques to prevent further damage to delicate nasal tissues.
Blowing your nose forcefully when you have a cold can worsen symptoms and potentially cause damage, such as ear pain, nosebleeds, and even rare cases of orbital fractures. Experts recommend gentle nose blowing or using nasal saline solutions like a neti pot to manage mucus without increasing pressure. Proper cold management includes rest, hydration, and over-the-counter medications, while avoiding spreading germs by maintaining good hygiene.
