every morning when i wake up i get a bit of running nose..
after i bath it gets worst , sometime throughtout the whole day
can anyone help me? any ways to deal with this problem

nasal spray to relieve nasal congestion, maybe? see doc first

Maybe your nose is sensitive?
Is your room dusty?
Seldom wash the bed linen?
Not exposed to sunlight and air?

Hyper sensivity maybe? Have you checked with a doctor? Antihistamines may provide some temporary relief.

dk999, your case happened recently? Or all the while, you got such problem?

it's sinus lah... same thing i'm having.
My fren said his sinus stopped eversince he got that air purifier machine.

ur room got many dust,

just sapu lantai and mob it everyday.

consult your doctor, he will give u a nasal spray as a temporary solution and if it doesnt work you will have to go for a minor surgery where they enlargen your lubang hidung

Also try not to dig your nose in the morning,its hypersensitive especially being in a cold room(air conditioned).

If it has been there since few years ago or since young, it won't be easy to "fix". I'm experiencing this too!

if u sleep in a air-con room, don't! try sleeping in a fan room. n of course the fan have to move, dont let it blowing still at one direction. esp. ur head.

n if u take late nite bath. dont take cold ones. try to take bath 2 hrs before u sleep.

Anonymousmich, what you suggested are improving the environment? You're still not fixing the root cause which is the body itself.

Speaking from my experience, I have tried a lot of supplements; from basic Vitamin C to whatever spirulina, cod liver, ginseng pill, ecchinecia, selenium, aromatherapy and etc. Still I'm suffering for sinus/flu.

I used to have such problems too when I was younger, but no longer. Perhaps due to my healthier lifestyle for the past few years. Exercise, good diet, enough rest.

i have this problem last time...

no air cond during sleep.

no cold drinks at all......

now ok d

I'm still practising that now.

Try washing your nose...I mean suck water with your nose and blow it out.
A lof of germs etc. in the nose after we woke up in the morning.
(Remember during the haze thing? Each morning I feel like I breathe on burned smoke through the night Damn Indonesia)

You sneeze a lot in the morning?
Better cut those nose hair a bit...don't let it stick out.

Lastly, see a nose specialist.
Could be 'resdung' ...dangerous...could spread and infect cheeks.

Healthier life too.
Don't smoke, exercise & diet.
No liquors at all would be better.

Air condition is bad...makes body dry.
Currently raining season...so...extra care.

I must sleep with air-con AND fan turned on (but not blowing directly at me lah).... else will perspirate like crazy.

i kena dat also...but i dunno y eventually it went off...
probably i cut my bulu hidung
i had a longer sleeping time
try to breathe with your nose...i know it is hard..but it helps...provided u still can breathe with the little gaps between ur mucus...good luck

I've also been suffering with this for years..every morning i wake up my nose gets blocked..then after bathing i suddenly start sneezing & sneezing, even in school. really a nightmare man..sometimes it's hard to concentrate while studying. I've tried all those spirulina, vitamin C's , cod liver oil..but nothing seems to work! I think we have to change our lifestyle. Sleep properly, have regular exercise and eat the right food at the right time. Still trying hard though..good luck to you mate.

it happens regulary or just sometimes. Is it together with headache?
if yes then most probably u have to find a doctor

yes. improving the environment u r living does helps. that's jus my opinion and advise frm doc.

supplements does helps too. i guess it depends on diff person. cos i used to have sinus but after i have improve my environment and took some supplements, i'm ok now.

eat vitamin c
i got the problem as well

sensitive nose is hard to take care....
u can goto buy spary for flu less.....

i used to have very frequent runny nose and flu, ends up with lots of 'paper wantan'.

Well, what i did was, try improving the clean conditions of the places i am in, that i would spend lots of time in.
that means, cleaning, wiping, mopping, so that they remains at least dust free.

secondly, i'll avoid cold bath/shower if its over 6pm. Dunno why, after 6pm the body can feel the coldness from the water and runny nose will follows soon after or latest by next day.

thirdly, be hydrated enough everyday.

used to had that when i was young... i think it stoped after i start to do sports for a couple of years... n now i quit sports n no more morning sinus... but i am still very sensitive to dusts...

Vitamin C won't help much if you have sinus for many years.


Nasal spray is containment solution. The concept is just like asma spray.


Wrapping "wantan" is very custome to my daily life. Occasionally has running nose.

Improving cleaniness does help but this will be environment factor. Not just health or immune system factor.

On the contrary, I'll avoid cold shower in the early morning, 6 to 10am. Cold shower in the evening on an ordinary Malaysian, hot and warm day is tolerable.


Sports? This is something new ... what kind of sports? Yoga?

nope david83, i was doing some aquatic sports

i have same experience. sports can really improve our immunity.

see david83, someone is having the same experience as mine

What sports you played?


I never doubt that sports is good for our health.

i had ds prob aso...
is lesser now...compare to last time...
have sufficient sleep n dun sleep under air cond..
drink warm water wen u got d flu...
i used to do tat to relieve myself...
try take some Vitamin C....
and exercise....
try to sweat urself...
u ll feel better...

good luck

off aircond approximately 1 hour before you wake up.. use the timer

dont drink milk before u sleep

Any particular reason?

sux nose in the water and breath
it sound like islamic theory...

"devil live in your nose when you sleep..."

i also always suffering from this last time
i think it is becoz of allergic becoz i juz back from my house...
and my house didnt have any people for a few days aledi...

You are probably allergic to dustmites

found my nose block if i drink milk.
but i still drink

im too had the same problem
read somewhere honey can cure the problem
and so i try to drink honey
one glass of honey drink at night.
and now im no longer have the problem in the morning.
but if i stop drinking honey, the problem will come back.
so now i cant stop drinking honey

Added on May 26, 2007, 11:06 pmand try to find the original honey, not the one with a lot of sugar

I thought honey is used to fix sore throat.

yeah, i tried all method but didn't work until i saw the article about honey.
no harm trying

oh honey give like some sort of energy to the chest i think..
i tried b4 when i small, it worked for me as well

clip ur nose while u sleep, breathe only on mouth

Use mouth to breathe is strongly not advisable.

most funny post in this thread ever!! (i think becoz this is the only post that is funny in this thread)
like David83 said, breathing by mouth is strongly not advisable

1 of the reason is, you will have bad odour in mouth
other reason... can let source of allergic get in, or even bugs...

i went for operation back on year 2005..now i sometimes sneeze in the morning if its really really dust place.

u might get a soarthroat the next morning... all the bacteria will be going through ur mouth n the throat will be real dry too

Sore throat and bacteria infection are small matter. Afraid it affects the whole respiratory system and lung too.

Yea, for some reason if the person's immune system is weak, infection will progress into serious infections like sinusitis, pneumonia or etc. I have chronic rhinitis as my nose is sensitive to environment factors like dusts, temperature (cold), UV rays (nose lining), strong perfumes.. etc...

oh ya about the honey, not those giant/carrefour honey
must those ori honey ,glass bottle, pasar malam or other places

My one can worst, frm small child d kena and can cause me bad asthma..
every morning oso flu.. but now i know how to prevent..
just keep ur body fit, exercise a bit but regural.. ( exercise a lot make my sinus worst and fever cos my body quite weak) and drink a lot of water.. just keep ur body fit everyday and u will know how usefull is to exercise...
and dun forget to drink a lot of water

There is a method used to determine whether the honey is pure or not.
Dip the honey into egg's yolk, if you can see the egg's yolk is cooked, then you can say the honey is pure. I read about this method from a newsletter quite long time ago.
