About this really odd cold that I have - TW gross snot details

For about a week I've had this cold..

My throat is a bit sore- small cough at night.

But mostly, my sinuses are congested.

I don't have a runny nose though and I am not blowing my nose, I don't seem to need to.

But I'm sniffing it up all day long and swallowing. It's gross.

Thankfully I'm not around people a lot.

Could the swallowing be making it last longer / give me a sore throat ?

My nose itself actually feels rather dry, so I don't really get it.

Does anyone know ? It's as if the congestion is higher up in my nose and the sniffing makes it go down my throat.

So gross. Sorry ! My nose is clear and I can breathe through it. But when I speak, I do sound like I have a cold/ congested nose.

Post nasal drip can give you a sore throat, yes.

And I guess cold virus could be causing post nasal drip

Oh I've got the same type of thing, I feel disgusting with the nasal thing going down my throat which is a bit sore.
