Drip Drip Drip Drip: I thought you didn't want to do that! Changed your mind,huh?Well,where do you expect all that stuff to go?Out your nose?Very little will get absorbed in that tiny canal;what's left should drip out eventually.If it didn't I'd wonder if you had a sponge stuck up in there.As it gets better the amount will decrease.If not, then it's probably not getting better and you should see your doc for a recheck
