Hello, My Right Nostril Is Clogged, Inflamated For 2 Weeks
Question: Hello,
My right nostril is clogged, inflamated for 2 weeks and a half now.
In night it gets a bit worse, during the day its not always clogged, but I feel my "nose" I think because its inflamated inside, outside I can't see anything.
I am worred, the nose is not runny, its like very little mucus and its very "glueish" it sticks to my nose and doesn't get out easy from it. My sinus are clean, I made radilogy for sinus.

Brief Answer:
Nose polyp possible, nasoscopy needed.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.
I think it would be better if you go to ENT doctor to check your nose. The fact that only one nostril is closed it can't be congestion.
Your doctor may perform nasoscopye, a camera tube inserted in nose to see its conditions. I think it can be polyp of the right nose. It usually is formed by chronic inflammation and it causes the blockage of nose.
Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.

I had nose polyp removed when I was very young, 5-6 years old..
I was already at 3 doctors, all said its rhinitis, but I don't believe it can take so long to get cured. (3 weeks almost).
I feel I have nostril which is not normal to "feel you have nose". I feel something is not ok there (like inflamation on Turbinates)
I have a sinus radiology, it looks fine the doctor said.

Brief Answer:
Allergic rhinitis possible.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and thank you for asking again. I believe it can be allergic rhinitis and being exposed to the allergen can make it last 3 weeks or even more.
Allergic rhinitis can cause nose polyps due to chronic inflammation. Make sure you are taking the right treatment with antihistamines such benadryl or citerizine, decongestants such pseudoephedrine or phenylephrine and nasal spry.
Also do allergic tests in order to avoid allergens. Doing allergic shots is an option to get cured from allergies.

Best regards.
