A member asked:
Is a runny nose a sign of your congestion breaking up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally not: There is no mechanism that increases nasal secretions when congestion goes down. Many people notice this, however. The best way to tell that congestion is improving is that it's easier to breathe through your nose. Ipratropium nasal spray from your physician will help if the runny nose is bothersome.
