I've been using nasal drops for around 10 years now because I can't seem to breathe through my nose properly. I'm starting to worry if this is really bad for me. Should I be concerned about how long Ive been using them? Is there anything else I can do to help with my breathing?

I've been dealing with nasal congestion for about a year now, and it's been really bothersome. When I try to do alom vilom, I notice my nostrils feel blocked and it's hard to breathe properly. Plus, I've been experiencing some inflammation around the edges of my throat whenever I swallow. I consulted my doctor and tried some medications like Azeflo nasal spray, Montfair fx, and Sompraz D, but I haven't felt any significant relief. What else can I do or try to finally get some relief from these symptoms?

Continue same treatment.
