Does Blowing Your Nose Make Cold Symptoms Worse?
Blowing your nose seems like a natural response to a stuffy nose, but could it be making your cold symptoms worse? Improper nose-blowing techniques can irritate nasal passages, increase inflammation, and even push mucus and bacteria further into the sinuses, potentially leading to a sinus infection. At PrimeHealth Urgent Care, Dr. Alfonso Espinel, MD is dedicated to helping you find true relief and avoid prolonging your cold. For more information, contact us or book an appointment online. We have convenient locations to serve you in Parrish FL, Bradenton FL, Sarasota FL, Lehigh Acres FL, Estero FL, Port Charlotte FL, West Bradenton FL, and Ellenton FL.
