Blocked Nose

2017-09-21 10:59:56
My Nose is getting blocked completely, and the blockage is such that i can't even breathe, though i can smell but i am not able to breathe. Currently i am using otrivin and that unblocks my nose for upto 8 hrs. I am facing this problem since last 20 days.

You seem to be suffering from acute rhinosinusitis which is a common type of nose infection. You may need to take antibiotics, anti cold medicines and decongestant nasal drops for few days for faster recovery. Since you are using Otrivin already for maximum number of day you need to stop using it
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
