Nasal Congestion, dry mucus

2021-05-10 03:25:56
I am having nasal congestion in one of my nostrils for the last 2-3 weeks without any cold/fever. Although breathing difficulties is not there, sometimes it feels like I may be missing a breath or two. I am taking steam which helps in reducing the congestion, but it again comes back after few hours Also the mucus is dry. Any guidance will be helpful. Thank you.
