I'm 26 and I have this recurring issue where my nose gets blocked whenever there's pollution or if I catch a cold. It's like when one nostril is blocked, the other one decides to join in. I've been relying on Otrinoz nasal drops constantly, and I'm really looking for a more permanent solution. Could you suggest anything that would help me solve this problem for good?
