Hi
Welcome to Healthcare Magic and thanks for putting up the query
The cold sensation in nose is probably due to mucosal dryness. Please tell me do you have any history of sneezing?
Any history of diabetes?
Any history of smoking?
Any history of nasal surgery?
Any dryness or other skin disease?
Follow up with the required information so that i can suggest you better.
Take care

No, it's not rhinitis.
it is mostly in the throat.
When I breath in.
Not in my lungs either.
I breath and function normally.
Just fatigued by the sensation.
I have no history of any of the above.
I had nisinfundlplication 22 years ago so I take the losartan every day.

HI
Thanks for the information.
Please get a xray paranasal sinuses done and blood sugar levels done.
Mucosal dryness can be the only symptom of nasal disease and can be confirmed only on investigations.
Use a fluticasone nasal spray twice daily for a week.
All the medicines i prescribed you will be available only on prescription.
Drink plenty of water.
Avoid alcohol or smoking.
Thanks and regards
