Is it possible to get dehydrated because of runny nose?

Jesus H. Christ! My nose started running about 3 hours ago and I have gone through half a box of Kleenex.

At this rate, I fully expect to wipe out a small forest in paper usage.

not, but I would up fluid intake anyway, to keep the drippings thin.

If your nose keeps running or the amount increases, you might want to consider the possibility that your brain is leaking out.
