I have a weak immune system. I catch cold in every 10 days. When i drink or eat cold things , sour things, any fruits i catch cold. I catch cold when dust or cold air flows into my nostrils. I catch very severe cold after masturbation. When i catch cold, i get runny nose, blocked nose, severe cough and continue mucus flow. I have consulted an ENT specialist. He said its allergies and have to bear with it and take prevention. He said that my nose bone have grown too big on one side which is halfway blocking my nostril so i had gone a surgery for cutting the bone in 2017. After that with some antibiotics he gave mi Otrivin nasal drop for unblocking the nose. But i got so addicted to the drop, i used it thrice a day till now. Without it my nose would not unblock from mucus. He scolded me for that and consulted me with Nosikind nasal drop and told to use only if necessary. Now i am addicted to that and use it thrice a day. Please help me with this issue. Fed up of this allergies.

Hi , yes you are having allergy , which is of course genetic and familial disease .it can be reduced but not cured completely. You need to find out the things tht increases your symptoms. And avoid those .take necessary precautions during this lockdown . If symptoms are more , intolerable then take anti allergic medicine such combination of levocetrizine and montelukast once at night fr 5days .
Next Steps
stop taking otrivin. use nasoclear nasal drops if necessary and stop using it regularly .consult if not relieved
Decongestant nasal drops can paradoxically cause more obstruction. You will have to stop it to get long term relief. Since you have undergone surgery also,, direct examination is important before we start treating. Most likely it looks like allergy and you will need prolonged treatment - for a few months.
Next Steps
Since it's a lockdown, if you're unable to personally visit an ENT surgeon, you can take anti allergic medicines like, say, Tab. Xyzal 0-0-1 for a week. You can continue steam inhalation also.
As soon as possible, visit an ENT surgeon in your city
