I can't stand the term

wtf is wrong with saying"runny nose"

I'm glad we cleared that up -- I now need to know your feelings regarding the term "drainage."  TIA

DandR

hmmm...never really gave the term "drainage" a thought.  I am thinking its a context thing.  Drainage in terms of my childs nose while talking to a doc "the drainage is yellowish green" is ok.  But don't really see any other way drainage could be discussed without being gross.....

Nope, I take that back, even while talking to a doc, I believe I would say "the snot is yellow".  "he has green boogers"  But if the doc came back and asked something about drainage, I probably would let it pass.

Sooo, only docs are allowed to say it.

It reminds me of Adelaide's Lament from Guys and Dolls.

 

 

Did I just out myself as a theatre nerd?

Well, post nasal drip and a runny nose are actually 2 different things. I get post nasal drip ALL the time and basically it's mucus from your nose but instead of coming OUT it goes down your throat. And it is totally gross so I agree with you in hating that term b/c I hate the condition. But I'd take a runny nose anyday over PND! lol

Exactly.  Post = after.  It's mucus dripping down in the system past your nasal cavity,either between your nasal cavity and throat, or down your throat.  It's a term used to explain why you are emitting mucus but don't have a runny nose.
