Chronic Nasal Congestion: Causes and Treatment Options

I am a 24-year-old bachelor student. I have been experiencing a persistent runny nose, frequent sneezing, nasal blockage, and difficulty breathing through both nostrils as one is always blocked alternately. These symptoms worsen when I consume cold drinks or fruits. Additionally, physical exercise and changes in the environment exacerbate my condition. This has been ongoing for the past year, and despite seeking treatment from 2-3 doctors, including homeopathy, I have not found relief. Now, I am exhausted from the ongoing symptoms and would like to identify the root cause and pursue appropriate treatment.

You might have allergic rhinitis, triggered by things like pollen, dust mites, or certain foods. Seeing an allergist can help identify your triggers and recommend treatments such as avoiding allergens, taking medications, or getting allergy shots. Proper treatment is important for feeling better and enjoying life without discomfort.

I am 30 years old, I am facing nose dryness in summer season and also lesion, blockage, soreness in the morning. What can be the cause and what can be done to fix it?

Male | 30

You might have allergic rhinitis. That's a fancy phrase for nose­ allergies. Your body reacts to stuff like­ pollen, pet hair, and dust mites. To e­ase symptoms, use a room humidifier for moisture­. Drink lots of water too. Saline nose sprays can re­lieve dryness. If home­ remedies don't work, se­e an allergy doctor. They'll he­lp find the cause and treatme­nt for you.

My grandfather age is 69 before 4 months he had second brain stroke now he has cough in his throat which not come out from his mouth so please doctor how to remove cough from throat

Male | 68

Your grandfather is likely experiencing throat congestion, which is common among stroke people. This could be caused by the fact that after a stroke, a person may have difficulty swallowing. When we swallow, the cough should come out of the mouth. Be sure to hydrate him by drinking lots of fluids. A speech therapist who can teach exercises to improve swallowing and coughing should be seen. Apart from that, he will also be able to make the cough from his throat disappear.

I am having cough which looks more allergic. And phlegm and wheezing sound only appears when I coughs. It's like someone is choking you when you have the cough. It really hurts my throat and head while coughing. And sometimes maybe due to my panic, cough results in cough syncope. I also have antral gastritis. I have been diagnosed with bronchitis 6 months back. My chest Xray shows only small prominence in right lungs and rest is normal. CT is normal, XRay is normal. Only my TLC count is elavated to 17000 and however eosphil and basophil count is normal. I am slightly anemic. According to my doc, my body is unable to absorb iron. My O2 and BP all are normal during my cough episode. However, I feel tremor throughout my body and sometimes my hands and legs become pale while I cough. I am perfectly normal if I don't have the cough episodes. I also has slight GERD maybe due to antral gastritis.

Suggestive of left maxillary sinusitis with right maxillary antral polyp and rhinitis

Female | 18

The symptoms indicate an inflammation of the left maxillary sinus and the presence of a polyp in the right maxillary antrum, and sinusitis symptoms such as rhinitis as well. As a result, the person may experience a stuffy nose, facial pain or pressure, and a discharging nose. In case of sinusitis nasal discharge, accompanied by facial pressure or pain sometimes by a fever, can be either due to germs or from the immune system. Nasal pips are whenever the tissues of the virtual with a nasal or similar cavity show the presence of small swellings. The treatment of disease includes some of the most common allergy medicines, antibiotics, and in some cases, surgery.

My left ear is in hole so since 3 year but i go to surgery it increases heartbeat so surgery is cancelled but now my ear is get probblm to me then i go to brain mri so plz find the mri

Female | 28

You are de­aling with problems in your left ear. That's good you're­ asking for help. A faster heartbe­at during surgery can be scary. It may be from stre­ss or another issue. Your ear hole­ could hurt. Getting a brain MRI is smart to see what's going on inside­ your head. The MRI gives picture­s to figure out the problem. Be­ sure to talk to your doctor about the results and what to do ne­xt.

I have been using sudafed nasal spray for about 5 days for a nasal drip. I stopped yesterday and have been feeling extremely congested like my sinus is swollen. Could this be rebound congestion? I've been using sinus rinse and a little relief but just feels like there could be some swelling

Male | 40

You could be suffering from rebound congestion. This is common when people use nasal sprays such as Sudafed for more than a couple of days. It may cause you to have swollen nasal passages with a feeling of being more congested. The saline sinus rinse is excellent at relieving the swelling. It's best to avoid overusing the nasal spray to prevent rebound congestion.

I have stuffy and runny nose since 3 weeks, have been using decongestants that provided some relief, but since last 3 days it is worse, continues runny nose all day, at the same time the nose is stuffy and heavy. Mucus from runny nose is mostly clear. In the morning I might cough out some yellow mucus.

Female | 37

You may have sinusitis or a sinus infection. Stuffy and runny nose with clear mucus are common symptoms of sinusitis. The yellow mucus that you cough up in the morning is a sign that it may be bacterial. To relieve congestion, try applying a warm compress across your face and seek medical attention for further assessment.

Male | 4

Please get the hearing evaluation and speech evaluation done by an ENT and development evaluation by a paediatrician to proceed assessment of the child. This must be managed as early as possible as all forms of rehabilitation work best when the child is younger ideally under 4 years of age. Please do not delay management.
