Why Does Your Nose Run When You Have a Cold?
A runny nose during a cold is a common symptom caused by inflammation in the nasal passages. When the body fights off a viral infection, it produces excess mucus to trap and expel germs. This increased mucus production leads to the watery discharge often seen during a cold. At Nova Medical Group, Dr. Akash Patel, MD, explains that a runny nose helps the body clear out the infection and can last for several days.
