Running nose....My nose is seneitive lah.That is why my wife told me no air con for our new house.Its a gd habit! The water will prevent the air frm too dry...good for ladies who wan to keep their skin soft n sleep in aircon room too.... U seem to haf sinusitis....mmm...I started sleeping in air-con rm a few yrs back n it got worse...last yr, my doc recommended me to use a nasal spray. Nw my nose is not so sensitive to temperature change. At the worst part, whenever i go into aircon room for a while, my nose starts dripping... Now, I dont get sick as often as I used to...In fact, this flubug is the only time Im sick since I started using the nasal spray abt half yr back. Much better than my track record of at least 1 time mc every 1-2 mths.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
