Dry mucosa: Glad to read that your eyes and mouth are alright, and there is no nasal passages blocked. However dry mucosa within the nose is quite common. Try These Home Remedies : Petroleum Jelly. Use your fingers to apply a small dab of petroleum jelly to the lining inside of your nose. ... Humidifier. ... Nasal Spray. ... Damp Wipes. ... Steam or Sauna. Good luck.
