You would have runny nose with clear, watery mucus. Your nose may feel blocked. The symptoms usually start after exposure to dust or with changes in temperature.

What Can Be Done?

A ‘cure’ may be difficult because the underlying cause is the oversensitivity of the person, an inherent cause. But you can be helped with medication and nasal sprays.

Only when medical treatment fails, or when symptoms a sufferer’s work or social life, is surgery considered.

These are only general guidelines to sensitive noses. For more information about your own condition, you should discuss them in detail with your doctor.
