Hello,
Cool drinks or ice-cream intake may cause nose block due to allergy in few patients. Avoid cool drinks and ice creams. Use tablet levocetirizine twice a day for five days. If symptoms not improved please consult with your physician he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
