Congestion in nose

Question

Congestion in nose

Asked for Male, 31 Years

Often I feel that my nose is not clear and I feel the need of picking it in order to make it clear. Also I feel the need to tilt my head up while sleeping in order to get proper oxygen flow as in normal posture of sleeping i feel blockage in my nose. I also notice my septum is tilted/bend towards the left side. Hence the inhale and exhale force from the right nostril is comparatively less. Please advice.

You might be suffering from deviated nasal septum. It is one of the common cause for persistent nasal obstruction. If confirmed surgery known as septoplasty may be required.

Next Steps

Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required. Septoplasty if necessary is a simple surgical procedure to straighten the septum of your nose
