Congested nose
Hi,
I have been having congested nose on and off. Earlier I use to have it to when I woke up in the morning but then it will fades away when I am out of house. Now due to covid I am not able to step out of the house and the congestion remains. Also, these days I feel as if my nose is congested and I am unable to breathe, though I do not have fever or running nose. I keep checking my breathing. If my mind is distracted I feel fine.. The moment I think if m breathing is OK I start feeling there is something wrong. Is it allergy, anxiety or sinus. Please help

Do you have sneezing and running nose?
Nasal congestion may be because of Deviated nasal septum with hypertrophy of turbinates.
Breathing problem may be because of nasal blockade and anxiety too.
Take Steam inhalation 4-5 times daily.
Also take
Tab Wikoryl twice daily for 5 days
Otrivin nasal spray , whenever your nose is blocked then use then only.
