<human>: A couple weeks ago I had a sinus cold. I had a runny nose sore and nasal congestion along with other symptoms. Fast forward to the past few days and now I am experiencing more nasal congestion but this time I am not sick. I cannot breathe through my nose. I don t believe I have allergies. My nose is also very dry. I m having trouble sleeping because of this. Please help me. I hope I provided enough information.
<bot>: Hello, Thank you for asking at Chat Doctor. I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:1. If you are experiencing such symptoms for the first time, I would not think of allergies first. 2. I usually suggest my such patients antihistamines like cetirizine for 7-10 days regularly.3. Regular saline nose washes with saline sprays as well as steam inhalation, if comfortable, will help you to recover early.4. If you congestion does not improve despite these measures, I would suggest you to get your nose examined by an ENT specialist to identify the cause of obstruction. Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you. Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at Chat Doctor. Wish you the best of the health ahead. Thank you & Regards.
