Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Nose being little stuffy without running nose or sneezingfor 3 weeks. This may be due to dryness or congestion, as they commonly presented problem. Get done steam inhalation 2 times a day and breathing exercises like pranayama. You can take decongestion if it is congestion. If dry nose, saline nasal drops can be put for few days and you will be relieved. But consult your doctor for its examination and management. Hope I answered your question.
Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries.
Wish you good health. Take care.
Regards
Dr. Lohit
