Dryness in nose..
Hello sir/madam
I did steam therapy heavily on both nostrils and thereafter it cleared my nose. After few days my nose dried completely and when I take bath I don't sense it properly. Now low air is coming from both nostrils. Does this lead to any ENS or any nasal complications.. please anyone answer this.. I am afraid.. I am taking levocet and nasal spray.. in internet it says due to lack of moisture. I am drinking water regularly but feeling the same thing..
