I have a really nasty cold at the moment, and unfortunately have a runny nose. I’ve gone through a box and a half of tissues in a day, so now my nose is irritated because I have been rubbing it so frequently with the tissues. Any ideas on how to soothe the burn? Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks.
Use the softest tissue. If you have an irritation due to a cold or overusing tissues, which can dry out skin around the nose, you might be using tissues that are too harsh. Try a tissue infused with aloe or vitamin E, which will help moisturize and treat delicate skin around the nasal area.
A decongestant can help get rid of nasal congestion, reducing the need to constantly blow your nose and rub it with a tissue.
