Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are having symptoms of persistent nasal blockage despite taking Cefozyt which could be due to allergic rhinitis, nasal polyp and which can be caused by bacterial or viral infection. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order nasal swab test and blood tests to get complete examination done. Doctor may prescribe antibacterial ( amoxicillin) or anti viral ( acyclovir ) depending upon the diagnosis along with decongestants . For now continue doing gargles and drink one spoon of honey mix with glass of lukewarm water .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
