I've been feeling like there's always mucus in my throat for the past few months, and I usually end up spitting it out. Lately, I've noticed that it feels like I might throw up in the mornings because of it. I'm also wondering if it might be getting stuck somewhere in my chest. Can you help me understand what's going on?

My right nostril has been completely blocked for the past three months. The doctor diagnosed it as DNS and recommended surgery, but I've been trying homeopathy for a month with no relief. What else can I do to improve this?

If homeopathy hasn‚Äôt helped, an ENT might recommend septoplasty or radiofrequency ablation. Nasal sprays and steam inhalation may help temporarily.
