I've been dealing with non-stop sneezing, a runny nose, and a blocked nose for over 20 days now. I've only gotten temporary relief from using Otrivin and Naselin. Do you have any suggestions on what I could do? I'm starting to get worried since it's been going on for quite a while.

I've been dealing with sinus congestion and a runny nose for the past four days, and it's getting pretty uncomfortable. I've been taking Febrex Plus and Telekast L, and I've also been using Floresp AZ nasal spray. I'm just wondering what else I should do to feel better. Is there anything else you'd recommend to help with these symptoms?

I've noticed that I'm always dealing with one blocked nostril, and it's really odd because it only feels unblock while I'm taking a hot shower. It's not a runny nose or anything that feels like a cold. Could this be something I should be concerned about? Is there a reason why the steam or heat from the shower might be helping?

The persistent blockage of one nostril, except during hot showers, could be due to a deviated septum, nasal polyps, enlarged turbinate bones, or environmental allergies; consider consulting an ear, nose, and throat (ENT)
