My nose gets dry all the time and it become so irritate while sleeping. I do use otrivin (adult) to keep my nose wet. Picking up dry nose feel me embrace in public.

Hello Dry nose is common in this hot weather. And is more frequent in allergic rhinitis patient. Avoid ice cold things. Stop using otrivin frequently. Always cover nose and mouth during travelling. Thanks.

This happens due to severe dryness. The dried mucus of the nose causes itching. Apply a very small quantity of light moisturizing cream/lotion in the lower part of inside of nose every day, morning evening. Also after a bath blow out all the sticky mucus from the nostrils and wipe the nostrils with a soft tissue. Reapply moisturizer after the bath. Otrivin is not recommended. If the problem is severe, take steam inhalation for 5 min and blow out the mucus gently. Aplly moisturizer.
