Why my nose gets runny when I cry
Why my nose gets runny when I cry
Pretty much every time I cry, my nose gets super runny and my throat gets slimy. Why is that?

There's a visible hole on the inside of your lower eye lid which drains excess tears into the sinuses:
There's A Little Hole In Your Eyelid That You Probably Never Noticed. What's It For?
26Your tear duct drains into your nasal cavity.
20And so do your ears, via the Eustachian tubes! They drain to your throat, I don't know how close the eye/ear drains are to each other.

Your sinuses are all connected up in your noggin.
12Crying is when your head releases liquid.
It’s not an eye thing; it’s a head thing.
