Anna B Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 My masks (and I have several different types, ) for some inexplicable reason, invariably make my nose run. Very annoying, and I have to remove my mask to wipe my nose. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That resulted in a rather embarrassing coughing fit, and a delayed entrance. As for a constructive idea to help your runny nose, have you tried taking antihistamine?

We have to wear masks for our entire shift, I have a slightly blocked up nose all week, that clears over the weekend then comes back on a Monday.

Why do you campaign so much for people to not wear masks? Anna is ok about wearing one, but wants help to make it comfortable. So why encourage her to not wear one?

Can’t wait to get somebody out of a mask can you! 53 minutes ago, Anna B said: My masks (and I have several different types, ) for some inexplicable reason, invariably make my nose run.

Baron99 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Man suffers worst symptoms after catching COVID-19 for a second time. https://www.bbc.com/news/health-54512034 Note that he is an apparently healthy 25 yr old with no underlying health or immune issues, other than he's been previously infected by COVID-19. Potentially not good news for anyone who is much older & finds themselves In a similar situation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potentially not good news for anyone who is much older & finds themselves In a similar situation? People catch viruses twice on a regular basis. If thousands of people were catching it twice, we might need to worry. Just the odd outlying case is nothing to get excited about, unless you have a paper to sell.

Anna B Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Thankyou all for your ideas. I can manage to wear a mask for the short time I am in shops, but I'm doubtful it does much good other than to reassure other people. It's not a lot to ask is it? (There again there's also the argument that some people find it scarey - a constant reminder of the troubled times we're living in... and there's no doubt our confidence and freedoms are being eroded.) I wouldn't trouble the doctor, they probably have more pressing things to do at the moment, and anyway, have you tried getting an appointment these days? I worry for the people who have serious medical problems. However anyone who has to wear one for work all day every day has my sympathy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
