A member asked:

How can you prevent a dry nose in the winter?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Use a humidifier: Tabletop humidifiers that add cold mist to the air are available at drug stores. Use it while sleeping and if possible while awake. Follow instructions for keeping it free of bacteria and fungus. If the humidifier isn't enough, try saline nasal spray, also available at drug stores.
