Dry nose, especially at night - any tips?

Fantastic!🙂

redranger2 said:Dr. Ksenija appalachia Pokupec develops these essential oil-based nasal drops that work wonders for congestion. I guess you can use them without worrying about irritating your nasal lining, which is a relief. She also makes a cream called Mastica that’s great for moisturizing and healing the inside of the nose. I’d honestly highly recommend them.

You can find the address online; it's over in Knežija.

Thanks so much. 👍

I don't think this is doing anything for me. I mean, it helps for maybe half a day while I'm applying it, but then the leaking just gets worse before everything dries up again.

I suppose I should probably add some context here. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like we’re missing the bigger picture. says:

I guess Adidas is just completely overrated. ☕

1 liter of saline solution
2. Nisita ointment twice a day normally, or up to 5-6 times if things get rough
3. CVS nasal mucosa cream, also a few times daily
My routine starts by rinsing with the saline. Once that’s done, I apply the CVS cream, followed by a layer of Nisita. On good days, this is my morning and evening ritual. When I'm having a bad day, I use the cream less often but reach for the Nisita more frequently.

Before bed, I make sure to use plenty of saline (I usually spend a few minutes rinsing with a syringe since I accidentally broke my little rinse cup). After that, it's the CVS cream, then the Nisita. As soon as I open my eyes in the morning, the saline goes in first.
I carry this whole kit with me wherever I go🤦 🤣, keeping a few sets ready: one at home, one for work, and one for travel.
One tip: instead of squeezing the cream or ointment directly from the tube, I use Q-tips. It allows me to precisely coat the nasal passages; otherwise, I just end up with a big mess inside my nose that doesn't stay put.

I deal with systemic lupus and sicca syndrome... as my doctor recently put it, "you're as dry as a desert."
I've been managing this for about 20 years now.
I have tried just about everything under the sun, but this specific combination is my winning formula.
(It covers the eyes, nose, mouth, throat, and one other area that affects mucous membranes too, right? 😁)
