When you cry why does your nose get runny?

Answer #1

it gets runny because when you cry tears come out of the tear glands and drain through the tear ducts that empty into your nose..and that is why it runs

Answer #2

As strange as it sounds when you are crying a little bit you just have a few tears, but when you are crying and crying you have tears and a runny nose. You get the runny nose because the extra tears go into the nasolacrimal ducts at the corner of your eyes then run into sinus.
