Can Fumes From Hood Hair Dryer Cause Dryness And Burning In Nose?
I recently had my hair foiled and I sat under a hood dryer for processing. My nasal passage was dry and burning by the time I was done, which has never happened before. The dryness was painful and did not go away before I went to sleep. I woke up the next morning with a full blown cold and it feels like it is moving into my sinuses. I also woke up with a severe upper back ache, which has persisted throughout the day... Could this have been caused by the fumes from the lightener, and should I go fl the Dr?
