Geriatric rhinitis

For some time I have been concerned and irritated by my husband's constantly dripping nose. He doesn't appear to have a real cold just this annoying drip.

I looked it up on the network and found that it is a feature of late stage Alzheimers, Parkinson's and Lewy Body dementia.

Sorry the wrong one came up. Try the second.

That’s also the latest cold, round here at any rate. I’ve got a cold, apparently it’s also affected a sinus. Must have affected a nerve somewhere, the upper teeth on that side have been aching. Because the teeth are so sore, just have to wipe ones nose when a drip threatens!
And don’t try and eat anything hard!

I also fell today, so have a sore head as well!

I blame my occasional sore front teeth on arthritis and Scottish weather! A couple of ibuprofen usually does the trick.

I have that! It’s a constant nasal drip which goes firm the back of my throat. It causes a bad cough. I usually get a flare up after a sinus infection.

Today I went for a Bowen Therapy session as I read it can help sinusitis.

Hope you were not too shaken. Xxx

Just got up for painkillers, Alice. Teeth aching, non-conducive to sleep!

Oh Spamar that doesn’t sound good. How is your head after your fall?

Still tender, Marion. Shall have to tell the hairdresser to go easy! I’d cancel, but hair really needs a trim
