What Causes Blocked Nose After Having Cocaine?
Hello I snorted cocaine a couple of times and since have blocked sinuses every morning I cannot breath, I have had antibiotics and inhalers but nothing works. Can using cocaine only twice cause polyps I am wondering. It seems the sinus cavity is constricted and so the mucus gets clogged up and is very sticky.?

HI
WELCOME TO HCM,
The congestion that follows cocaine use is merely a rebound effect of blood vessel dilation to the nose & sinuses. So the fact that you are congested for awhile after using cocaine is not harmful.Using cocaine only twice CAN'T cause polyps..USE TAB Levocetirizine. 2.5 mg WITH Phenylephrine. 10 mg one tab at night for 7 to 10 days..
get well soon...
