Runny nose

I have had Parkinsons for about seven years. My nose always runs when I am eating. I have a Rinatec nasal spray, which used to help, but now that’s not working. It will run even after two biscuits, and now it runs after every mouthful. So it’s quite a nuisance.
Does anyone else suffer the same discomfort, and have you fund a nasal spray that helps?

Hi fkendall.
Thanks for your reply.
I will have to do I think.

I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 7 years ago. My nose runs most of the time but it’s worse when I eat. The doc recommended using a nasal spray but I haven’t bothered as I’ve got used to it now.

Sorry that’s probably not helpful to you at all.

Hi Margs1.
I have stopped using my spray, as it’s not working…
