Brief Answer:
Advice mucolytic.Rule out DNS

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear.Thanks for writing back.

Thick and more often dried mucus shall block your nasal passage.I were to advise mucolytic(Bromhexine tablet 2 times a day for 3 day) to make the viscid mucus thin so that it can be easily expelled out.This is available over the counter.

I were to examine for deviation of the septum(deviated nasal septum) since DNS frequently exacerbates especially during cold.

Hope this answers your query.
