What Causes Discomfort In The Nose?
I have been told that I have a mucus plug and I need to do nasal rinses twice a day for two to three weeks. My nose seems to be clearer but there is always something in my nose and it moves from side to side. I have had the deviated septum surgery but I continue to have sinus problems. Will this rinse work?

Hello,
The symptoms are suggestive of blocked nostrils secondary to a deviated septum.
As of now, you can use nasal decongestant like Oxymetazoline for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist it is better to consult an ENT specialist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
