[edit] Why?

This article is very short for a subject important to so many. Chief among the missing facts, what is it that actually causes runny noses? 71.242.119.141 03:48, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

It does need further work, but the first priority tonight was to dismantle the untimely ripped, inappropriately toned material that was cut/paste from MedlinePlus and rewrite it with hopefully non-infringing text. Perhaps an expert tag will encourage work towards a more thorough treatment. Dl2000 01:53, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Some children with persistant runny noses get skin complications such as redness above the upper lip. Any thoughts or links that can be added to the article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andycjp (talkcontribs) 23:39, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nasal Irrigation derived from Yoga?

I will remove the claim that nasal irrigation has been derived from Yoga, as there is no source supporting this statement. If anyone wishes to reinsert the claim, please support it with a reliable source that shows that the use of nasal irrigation in conventional western medicine was indeed derived directly from "the Yoga practice of jala neti". --Ruebezahl (talk) 20:18, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion for New Page on Sniffling

This is the closest thing I could find in Wikipedia to sniffling, the habit that many have of quickly inhaling every few seconds to keep mucus from flowing out of their nose, either because they don't have anything to blow their nose in, think blowing their nose could be (more) impolite, or are not conscious they are doing it. The page could get involved in the physiological aspects, the psychological aspects (as a form of tic), and the sociological aspects (is it more rude in public to sniffle or blow). --Zachbe (talk) 18:26, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

Think I might do it. Would appreciate any help. --Zachbe (talk) 18:27, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
