Question 1

my right sinus is constantly draining. i cannot drink milk or any dairy because it immediately clogs up my sinuses and i am constantly blowing my nose?

Accepted Answer

How do you know?: Sinusitis can not be diagnosed by a patient.  It really sounds as if you have allergic rhinitis and the etiology may be dairy products.  The drainage is most likely coming from the right nasal cavity.  You also may have a nasal polyp.  Get a diagnosis from an ENT doctor or an allergist.  The gold standard for a diagnosis of rhino-sinusitis is a cat scan.

Question 6

does drinking make your nose bigger?

Accepted Answer

No: If it did, there would be an incredible demand for rhinoplasties. But to answer your question, no. No relation.

Question 7

i was drinking 2-3 energy drinks per day. i have stopped drinking them 1week. i have noticed during my workouts i am weaker and drained. please help?

Accepted Answer

Withdrawal.: That was a lot of caffeine you were taking in.  Stopping it suddenly would give you withdrawal symptoms.  Besides that, all that caffeine may have dehydrated you - you should be drinking water right now to see if it helps.

Question 8

does drinking wine make your nose big?

Accepted Answer

Eventually...: One of the many detrimental physical manifestations of long-term heavy alcohol use is dilation of the capillaries in the skin. This is what causes that "red-faced" look and "caput medusae" on the chest. Rosacea will cause redness and thickening of the skin of the cheeks and the nose.  Heavy alcohol consumption will aggravate this condition, leading to "rhinophyma", a large red nose.

Question 9

nose gets stuffy after drinking a beer, why is this?

Accepted Answer

Alcohol: Symptoms of alcohol intolerance may include: headache, flushing, hives, nasal congestion,  GI upset, nausea/vomiting ; low blood pressure. 
 You could be allergic to alcohol or it's ingredients such as yeast, grains, sulfites, histamines ; other chemicals.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

No: The nasal passages, mouth and throat are interconnected and it's possible for liquids to go the wrong way. If your child has forgotten about it, you can, too.
