Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have congestion in nose which seems to be due to blockage of nasal sinuses, nasal polyp and chronic upper respiratory tract infection. I would suggest you to take nasal sprays and do warm saline gargles. You should maintain hygiene. You should take antibiotic Levofloxacin in combination with antiallergic medication. Visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should get paranasal sinus x-ray done and start treatment after proper diagnosis. Avoid touching or pricking nose with any sharp object. You should take steam inhalation as well.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
