Boogers, be gone — how?
For some reason, boogers are always coming down/showing up in my nose. It's led to embarrassing social situations, or awkward moments when people tell me there's a booger visible under my nose. How do I stop this from happening? [more inside]
What are your big mucus clearing tips and tricks?
At this point it's about an hour before sleep and an hour after waking of blowing and coughing to for me to clear my pipes. It's ridiculous. What special nasal knowledge do you have that may shorten this process?
Helping a sensitive kid blow his nose?
My 8-year old kid tends to be sensitive to touch. In particular, he hates the feeling of sticky, slimy things on his skin. This generally isn't too much of a problem, except when he has a runny nose: because he dislikes the texture of mucus, he is very reluctant to clear his nose. Instead, he sniffs very deeply, which ends up clogging up his sinuses and leading to an infection. Any suggestions on how we can help him with this? [more inside]
Why does my sense of smell get much stronger when I'm short of sleep?
I have a poor sense of smell, but it becomes much stronger when I'm short of sleep. There have been many times when I've suddenly been able to smell things I couldn't normally smell and I wondered why I could do that, and then I'd remember I barely slept a wink the night before. It almost seems like the more tired I am, the stronger my sense of smell gets. What could be happening here?

Please recomend a product that will lessen my potential nasal congestion
Can anyone recommend me a good product I could use long term? The only requirements I have for it would be that I'm in the UK and the product needs to have not been tested on animals (more inside). [more inside]
Okay, I have to ask: what's the deal with nose picking in Japan?
I am here, teaching kids down near Yamaguchi, and I've noticed more than of my few kids do this in class. Vigorously. And many many adults seem to have little to no shame about the act. Is this NOT a taboo here? And if so, is it going to be weird for me to come down on kids for doing it in my class? I don't want to be culturally insensitive. But I also don't want to gag. Thoughts?

Choosing options for nose surgery to improve breathing

Sandalwood V's Sandalwood Essential Oil

Can mouth-breathing contribute to heart attack deaths?
Can anyone point me toward any research/literature on mouth breathing and heart attacks deaths? My hypothesis is that it does. I will ask my doctor, but I’d like to do some research before my appointment in a month or so. [more inside]
What's something that can overwhelm and negate your sense of smell?
Basically I'm wondering if there's anything out there that, if you wore it close to your nose, has such a strong smell that it temporarily negates all other smells. But isn't like smelling salts where it's impossible to have near you for extended periods. Like garlic maybe? Does such a thing exist?
Unstuffing A Stuffy Baby?
Hi!
YANMPediatrician, but: Ms. Drapatz and I have a delightful 3 week old tiny girl person. She is generally unfussy and delightful and seems in good health (no problems eating or peeing/pooping, gaining weight, etc.), but at night she has some snuffles which wake her (and us) up and lead to fussing and general sadness. Her snuffles are sometimes dry sounding and sometimes liquidy sounding, but we don't think she has an actual cold. Does anyone have any go to baby magic to help with this? [more inside]
Should my partner get surgery for a deviated septum?
My partner recently saw an ENT surgeon on the advice of the clinic treating her sleep apnea, and was told to her surprise that she had a severely deviated septum and narrowed nasal passages. Since while any treatment would be covered under Australia's Medicare so cost is not a concern, she's still not sure if the surgery is worth pursuing given the >10% chance of no improvement and the significant recovery time. We were hoping to hear from anyone who has had similar surgery on what positive or negative results we might expect. [more inside]
What is this itchy, hard spot inside my nostril?

Hey, you guys -- ow, my nose!
The inside of my nose is dry, tight and painful, due to this never ending cold/flu cycle. I've exhausted neti pots, Vaseline and Boroleum. What else can I do? It's not raw or infected, just painful! Home remedies or secret salves?
What is going on with the skin on my nose?
I am a 37yo man and have good skin. I don't have acne or spots.
For some reason my nose is different. It always seems shiny and the pores are visible. It is almost like my nose doesn't match the rest of the skin on my face.
It is like this not matter what. If I wash it well with soap and water or just water and try to not fuss with it too much.
Any idea how I can remedy this?
Thank you in advance

I want my nose to stop running
My nose runs all the time, despite not having a cold. I don't think I am allergic to anything - I don't have the itching or sneezing that goes with allergies, and being around animals or flowers doesn't make it worse. I don't have any sinus issues. Also it's a year-round affair, though worse in winter. I'm tired of it! Can anyone offer any advice? [more inside]

Boric acid use by doctors
I went to the ear nose and throat doctor today for a ear problem and he "puffed" boric acid powder into my ears that was in a clear glass bottle with a metal horizontal straw that puffed the white powder. Is this usually pure boric acid powder or do they dilute it with cornstarch or baby powder or something. It seems like it would be too strong to use the pure stuff but what do I know.
I'd like to give that doc a good thrushing.
I went to the doc because I thought I might have oral thrush. His diagnosis was so far in a different direction that I'm kind of baffled. Hope me? [more inside]

Thrrrrrrrrt!
So, my 4year old can;t blow her nose. Any amount of explaining how to blow your nose does not seem to help her, though TBH I am not sure I am doing a good job as is it's difficult to describe it more than "just blow out through your nose". Is this something that can be taught? When do people usually figure it out?
