Does your nose run only at work?

Published

It happened at my last place and now at the hospital. Practically the minute I walk in the door it starts. There's a/c but i's not what I would say freezing and besides it doesn't happen with a/c at home or in the car or even stores, so what gives?

Anything I can do besides meds? I'm not taking allergy meds just to get through work.

My nose always runs when I am gloved and about to do something like start an IV, cath someone, etc. Only at the worst possible time! LOL

There was a class I took in college (dev. psychology) and the MINUTE I would step into the room I would sneeze and my nose would run through the ENTIRE lecture. It was awful. I think it had to do with the dust or carpeting of that room.

My does that too at times. At the last place I worked it was a whole lot worse. I would sneeze uncontrollably at times, however I started taking Zyrtec OTC and it helped. During cold and flu season I run a low grade fever during flu season. I wouldn't feel bad or have symptoms, but i would run a low grade fever all throughout flu season while at work. Now when i would go home, my temperature would go back to normal. Strange, huh?
