<div>>> RDB: I think it is if one is going to have to wipe his Ni'a on his sleeve (which is problematic on Shabbos anyhow).<br> RMK: Huh? What's the problem? <<</div>
<div> </div>
<div>RDB: See Mishnah Berurah 302:(55) re putting a child on your lap without something to block him potentially leaking on you. It's best avoided due to a concern of one being Melaben the stain. Directly dirtying your garment might be worse, though I could hear a Sevara that if you are actively dirtying the garment you are showing that you don't mind it being dirty and will not be Melaben. It may be, though, that you'll see the actual stain and regret your hasty decision.</div>
<div><br>>> RDB: And for sure if it is going to drip out of his nose it is under kavod Habriyos. See Rashi to Shabbos 81b that even having something visibly stuck between your teeth is an issue of Kavod Habriyos. RSZA is lenient even on taking medicine is such a case when the Ni'a is leaking from his nose and is an issue of Kavod Habriyos (brought in a footnote in SSK).<br>
RMK: Where is this footnote in SSK? <<</div>

<div>RDB: SSK 34:(52)</div>

<div>>> Would the same thing apply to a cough, which is annoying to those around<br>you? One shabbos a few weeks ago my allergies were particularly bad, and my<br>coughing was such that the person sitting in front of me in shul moved to a<br>
different seat. I think he was being hypersensitive, but according to what<br>you're saying, it may have been muttar to take Benadryl or something to<br>solve the problem. <<</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If it's just him being annoyed, especially if you think he's being hypersensitive, (and therefore there is no objective reason for you to be mortified) I'm not sure that falls under K'vod HaBriyos.</div>
