My Nose Blocked For An Year.
Hello doctor, I have had a blocked nose for over year, its always on the left side, but in the morning when I wake up, both nostrils are blocked. It started when I began swimming, I had an infection, and was on anti-biotics, but my nose remained blocked. I am 32, 5.2 and I weigh 122 pounds

Hi,
welcome to health care magic forum.
I would advise you to take plain water steam daily at night before sleep.
In the morning when u get up in the bed itself do some deep bresthing exercises like pranayam and anlom vilom. i.e inhale through one nostril and exhale through another nostril.
also avoid cold , sour things for a few days.
u may also take homoeopathic medicine Kalium carbonicum 200 once a week dose.
Take care

Hi Sharon,
Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum,
This appears to be chronic sinusitis. You can definitely do steam inhalation, also drink plenty of warm water. Get a thorough check up done by a good ENT specialist to rule out any polyps/ deviated nasal septum.
Take care
