Dear Patient,
Pain in the tibialis (front of lower leg) after running is commonly due to shin splints (overuse inflammation of muscles and bone covering), especially if activity has suddenly increased, footwear is not supportive, or running is on hard surfaces. The breathing difficulty with blocked nose suggests allergic rhinitis or nasal congestion, which can reduce airflow during exertion and worsen discomfort while running.
What you should do
Rest from running for a few days and apply ice on the painful area 10–15 minutes, 2–3 times daily
Use proper cushioned sports shoes and avoid hard surfaces
Gentle calf and shin stretching exercises before and after activity
For pain: Paracetamol or topical anti-inflammatory gel can help if needed
For nasal blockage: Steam inhalation, saline nasal spray, and an antihistamine (like levocetirizine) if allergy symptoms are present
Usually this improves with rest and gradual return to activity. Persistent severe pain, swelling, or pain even while walking should be evaluated to rule out stress injury.
For further guidance and personalized treatment you may textt me on Practo anytime.
