It's winter in Brazil right now and I have rhinitis but it's been a while since I had a incident(last time it was awful, I cried because I couldn't sleep[or breathe]) and now my nose is bad again and this is how rhinitis is like for me:
at least one of your nose holes feels almost completely blocked, you put serum to make the snot more liquid so you can blow it, you blow your nose, you feel better for mere seconds until it feels closed again. because of the 'snot' in cavities of your skull that lead to the nose, when you try to blow your nose, the snot from those cavities keeps coming and it feels like blowing your nose is useless because it never gets better
also, my head hurts in a really weird way, it's like there's not inside my head(which is true), normal headache is different, this headache feels "gross". I also feel pain and that gross feeling in places that probably have cavities or near them, maybe it's placebo/psychosoma but idk my face feels pretty gross right now. Because of how much the nose is connected to the mouth my mouth also feels gross, it's like there's impalpable snot, like a ghost snot. When I'm not eating something I feel a weird taste of snot and it just doesn't feel right, it's pretty gross.
my mom said for rhinitis it's good to drink a lot of water to liquify the snot, heat also helps with making it feel better, so I took a hot bath(it didn't help) and she made me wear socks while inside the house(fair)
it seems that I get a rhinitis problem(I don't know how to describe it, sorry) every winter
But really, the memories I have of the last rhinitis I had are harrowing, I felt a lot of anguish, I felt weak because of not being able to breathe, I needed to sleep, my mom tried all medicine she had at home but nothing made it okay, I still felt anguished and couldn't even sleep, we had to drive to a pharmacy at past midnight just to get a more effective medicine. It was hellish. I had many hellish moments in my life but most where made by people and society, this maybe the worst medical issue I can remember(I also got a super deep cut on my leg once but I can only remember the initial moment I hurt myself and nothing else except me remembering it happened while looking at my hypertrophic scar)
