Both me and dh have got a cold, sore throat and cough we both feel quite bad. However I've literally gone through 3 toilet rolls since yesterday for a runny nose.

Dh is getting annoyed with me constantly blowing my nose every 30 seconds but if I don't I can't breathe and mucus actually runs out my nose non stop. My nose is really irritated and I keep sneezing too. I'm about to start on my fourth toilet roll. I can't breathe through my mouth because it irritates my throat and I have a coughing fit.

This happens every time I get a cold and I'm starting to think my runny nose is very excessive. Dh never has this problem and thinking about it I've never known anyone else to.

I read online I shouldn't keep blowing my nose but I can't just let it all run out.

I've taken sudafed and made a honey and lemon drink it's made no difference.

Steaming helps me and I use dh lovely big cotton hankies, so soft for the nose although you get through a lot in a day
