If you’ve got a cold then put some tissues inside the mask.  What kind of mask(s) do you have, carry, wear?    

Can't remember where I got them, online somewhere recommended by my daughter, but they are cloth and brightly coloured and fit quite tightly around my nose and mouth. I've still got a stock of them.

Tissues inside might help a bit,  but if you have a very runny nose you basically need to keep removing the mask to blow it.

Luckily I have only had to go out once when I've had  a bad cold.

Sorry, probably too much information.

You need ffp3 masks.

Sorry to be dim, but how would that help if I had a cold?

I am not so vulnerable that I need extra protection from the mask itself.

Just looked. My masks are from rosimask and  have a load of stuff stamped on them including FFP2.

This link says cloth masks don't do much any way.

They are probably better at protecting others from you rather than the reverse, but not brilliant at either.
