General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear thanks for the question.

You should have mentioned your age too. This problem could be due to several things like allergy, smoking (it destroyes nasal cells), infections (rhinitis, sinusitis). I would like to advise you to try a course of antibiotics (macrolide group like erythromycin) along with antihistamines and decongestants. Also use saline nasal drops. Before you visit your ENT doctor, you can get it prescribed from general practitioner and take till then. You will see improvement. Inform about this to ent doctor. Avoid smoking. Your disease will go away completely, don't worry.

I hope this reply will benefit you. Please write to HCM for future queries. I wish you rapid recovery. Please hit a thanks. Thank you
