Horrible runny nose...

So, I made the mistake of going out and playing Ultimate Frisbee last night in the cold weather (30-40 degrees). This morning I woke up with a pretty bad runny nose...been a pain all day. However, there is something weird about it. Whenever I go outdoors for a few minutes, it clears right up. I begin feeling totally fine, not sick at all, but then the second I walk inside any building, BAM! it hits me again. Very annoying because its kinda chilly outside, otherwise I'd have no problem spending as much time outside as I could :p

Could this maybe be allergies or something, rather than a cold from being outside in the cold last night? Seems so strange that it just goes away whenever I go outside

:confused:

Has this happened before? Is it still going now?

Doubtful its allergies...try using some saline solution nose spray...works wonders for me!

And its not a drug so you can use it all the time!

It always happens to me, I'm thinking the wind makes it better somehow. Anyway, Tylenol is your friend.

When you're outside, you're probably being active--All that movement loosens up the mucus, plus the cold weather numbs your sensation.

I think you're getting a cold. Less pressure when you're outside with fresh air. I always feel better when I'm outside if I have a cold.

"Calling Dr. House...."

Of course, he will almost kill you a few times before he figures it out.
