How Can Nose Congestion And Difficulty Sleeping Be Eased?
I have severe nose congestion day and night with some breaks of completely empty nose / a few minutes/. my eosinophil s account is 15 % . I try to stay away from conventional medicine but homeopathic and herbal staff does not work. In desperation I took afrin 3 times in5 days period . First time it worked 24 hours, second - 10 and third not at all. At nights I cannot sleep - sometimes only 1 hour. The problem started 4 months ago. on beginning I slept well after 325 mg aspirin, but after late flight from Europe / 3 weeks ago / and constant change of weather in Florida I am miserable like never in my life . I am 63 years old , not taking any medicine except some supplements. I am helpless and will be grateful for any advice what to do to ease symptoms.
Hi, nasal congestion can be because of a deviated septum or enlarged turbinates or a mass in the nasal cavity. Your history is suggestive of a turbinate hypertrophy which can lead to waxing and waning obstruction. Please get an ENT examination done to find the cause of obstruction which can be treated accordingly. Otherwise homeopathic or herbal medicine is not my field of expertise, but steam inhalation and irrigation od nose with saline helps in relieving obstruction. Regards
