Suggest Medication For Stuffy Nose At Night

I have a stuffy left nostril every night and am unable to sleep unless I use SINUFRIN. This is for temporary relief and not for everyday use according to the label. I have tried FLONOSE and AZELASTINE without any success. I have no problems breathing during the day. Help Rolf Pfister

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have stuffy nose at night which is due to upper respiratory tract infection which is leading to sinusitis as well. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to avoid intake of cold liquids. You should take green tea every morning. You should do warm saline gargles on daily basis and take steam inhalation as well. You should take antibiotic Ciprofloxacin and antihistamine Levocetrizine for 3-4 days. Avoid intake of excessive oily, fried and spicy food.Visit ENT specialist once if symptoms keeps on persisting and get blood tests and X-ray chest done and start treatment after proper diagnosis.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
