What Causes Persisting Flu?
Hello , I had flu in February for 10 days and since then I have had chronic prolems with my nostrils where I cannot breathe in or out at all through the nose. It is dry inside and when once I did manage to blow my nose a thick glue like clear substance came out. This keeps me awake as i v=cannot breathe at all and the pressure builds up . I have also had a slight sore throat since and chapped lips , i cannot recover since this flu bout I do not understand what is wrong. I have had antibiotics and a stroid nose spray but only one nostril is slightl easier but still hurts.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may have underlying allergic rhinitis (inflammation of the nasal passages) that is contributing to your symptoms.
This can occur on its own or along with sinusitis.
You should continue the topical spray, using it steadily. Adding a decongestant and oral anti histamine may help.
I hope this helps
