hi.. the blocked nose can be treated with steam inhalation 2-3 times a day as that really helps in relieving the blocked nose by opening up. U could nasal drops also which u can get by prescriptions once u consult online with a physician as this forum does not allow prescription. If the condition is severe then an ENT consultation also is recommended to rule out any sinusitis, polyps inside the nose or deviated nasal septum all the cause nose blocks and difficulty in breathing during sleep
