    the past couple of days my nose has been half runney and half dry (which is very annoying)... its also been bloody... not like a running nose but bloody constantly. its irritating and it hurts and im wondering if my fan is doing this... ive been sleeping with a fan on me to block out noise and i like to be cool when i sleep.

    im pretty sure the fan is the cause but i also like sleeping with a fan on me.... any suggestions?

    Use a saline (non-medicated) spray to keep your nasal passages moist.

    that happens to me when the air is too dry, or when there are allergens or certain chemicals (like cleaning stuff, bug spray, that sort of thing) around.

    My mom swears by that stuff.

    It is basically salt and water.
    When my mom runs out of saline, she snorts a luke warm water and salt mixture to moisten her nasal passages.


    You might benefit from having a humidifier in your room at night.
    If you can't afford one, just put a large open container of water in your room, it won't add as much mositure to your room as a humidifier, but it might be just enough.

    Taking a shower, or sauna, will moisten your nasal passages.
