Hi, Thanks for using HCM.

Recurrent nasal obstruction needs to be evaluated for cause. Get examined by ENT specialist for any nasal polyps, deviated septum, adenoid hypertrophy, Allergic rhinosinusitis or turbinate hypertrophy.
You may need to get few test done like allergy test, X-ray for adenoids, nasopharyngoscopy.

Treatment of underlining cause helps to resolve your problem.
Prolonged use of nasal decongestant is not recommended.

Hope this helps you.

Regards
