Extract

Vasomotor rhinorrhoea is a condition characterized by a constant or intermittent watery discharge from the nose. This may be accompanied by bouts of sneezing and a feeling of irritation in the nose. It is stated by some of the patients that symptoms occur during, or are aggravated by, periods of mental tension. In a severe case the secretions may be so profuse that the patient may need to use several handkerchiefs in one day.
