I'm really struggling with a blocked nose because of my sinus issues, and it doesn't help that my nasal bone isn't straight. I'm not keen on the idea of surgery, so I've been using OTRIVIN nasal drops for some temporary relief. But it's getting so difficult to manage. Can you suggest any other alternatives or measures that might help? I'm desperate to find a better solution!

These might include complications related to bleeding, infection, or the need for additional procedures to address complications like septal perforation
