Consider this...: This is not uncommon esp. during winter when indoor heat is used which dries up the nasal membranes. Consider using a humidifier indoor when using heat. Keep nasal membranes moist also with saline nasal spray. Can also protect nasal membranes with a thin film of topical bacitracin
