Blocked nose for consecutive weeks
My nose is continuously blocked and I have to take nasal spray every 7-8 hours as the blockage becomes extreme and I have to breathe through mouth. Even blowing the noise doesn't relieve of the blockage. There are no other signs of cold like cough or sore throat. My cold generally gets cured in around 7 days. But these blockages have been there now for nore than 2 weeks. Is this some kind of allergy? I'm living in Bangalore. What should I do to get rid of it? Also, how should I prevent my body to have this allergic reaction in future?
It is a common problem usually will happen in patients live in cool and heavily polluted places like Bangalore and winter season..
Your condition also called as SEASONAL ALLEERGIC RHINITIS, which stays for more than a month.
Next Steps
Better to go for further investigations like blood tests —allergic work up, CT scan for Paranasal sinuses.
Health Tips
Steam inhalation, keep face mask when go out
