Patient's question:
Why is it easy to catch a cold from picking your nose?Doctor's answer:
It's hard to say whether it's easy to catch a cold, but frequently picking your nose can easily damage the nasal mucosa, leading to nasal infections and triggering rhinitis. In such cases, it can also cause nosebleeds. It's recommended to avoid picking your nose often, as this can still be harmful to your body. Try to correct this habit as much as possible during your daily routine.A cold is a systemic illness, and it can cause symptoms of acute rhinitis. Generally, it takes about a week to recover completely.
