Cold advice

[noone]

When you have a cold, and your nose is getting kind of chapped, you can put chapstick on it to help the pain go away.

Do not use the kind with Menthol.

That is all.

At least half the time my chapstick has menthol, which is why I use vaseline for that.

Use tissue with lubrication added so you don't have to worry about a chapped nose.

neosporin is good, too, especially the kind that contains and analgesic.

Neutrogena Norwegian Formula hand cream or Aquaphor are good (both petroleum jelly based). I don't know if I had a cold or allergies but my nose was like that last week cuz I was all stuffy and blowing/rubbing it all day long. It's still a little flaky but not sore anymore.

Use tissue with lubrication added so you don't have to worry about a chapped nose.

Just don't accidently try to clean your glasses with them.

But the dating pool looks so much more inviting.

I avoid using anything with petroleum in it near the mucous membranes (mouth, nose, rectum). The oils can absorb into the blood stream and aren't too healthy, or can be inhaled and collect in the lungs, causing pneumonia.

I use KY jelly or aloe gel.

The Puffs Plus is THE BEST! It's like silk on your nose! If you use the super el cheapo face tissues, they really chap up your nose like crazy! Vaseline or even better....Aquaphor. Aquaphor is great with chapping! It absorbs fast and doesn't feel greasy!

I found out the hard way once that when the little spot under my nose is all chapped and cracked from tissues, it is not a good idea to apply Vicks. Hurts like a motherfucker.

the Mentol stuff just makes it feel SO COLD >.< Then breathing through your nose makes it worse. it's kinda like if you had sloppy make outs with Mr. Freeze.

I'm a horrible person because I laughed so hard I nearly fell out of my chair.

I once was special and put Vicks Vaporub on my nose. I still remember that....quite vividly. So I know your pain, and that's why I find it hilarious. I'm sorry. <hides in a corner>

I try to post things that will at least get a giggle out of people, so my job here is done.

At least you didn't put a hot sauce bottle up to your nose and get an unpleasant surprise like my brother did. Ouch.
