Right now I am totally congested in both nostril. Am I having rebound effect and if so what should I do?
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to acute exacerbation of Sinusitis. Investigations like complete blood count & X-ray of paranasal sinus will be helpful in clinching the diagnosis.
Management includes: 1. Steam inhalation. 2. Analgesics like paracetamol 3. Nasal decongestant drops. 3. Antibiotics depending upon culture & sensitivity reports to remove the causative organism. 4. Antihistamine preparations can also be used to provide symptomatic relief.
Your symptoms will be relieved with this. Wish you good health & a speedy recovery. Take care.
