Why are we getting running nose while crying ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When we cry, tears are produced by the tear glands present under our eyelids. These tears drain through the tear ducts via nasal passage and empty into nose. Then it mixes with the mucus in the nose and hence our nose runs.
