What Causes Nasal Blockage And Congestion Along With Excessive Sneezing?
One of my nostrils keep blocking and one at a time. I get sneeze attacks, may be i am allergic to certain substance. the open nostril usually dries up to irritating levels. It gets clogged on its own and opens itself on any time. Only to block the other one.
Hello dear Understand your concern I think you are suffering from allergic rhinitis/ Vasomotor rhinitis. In which there is inflammation of nasal mucosa due to overactivity of immune system due to allergen.
Followings are the allergens that cause allergic rhinitis: Pollens, grass, pine, chemical, plum, weeds.
For confirm diagnosis, consult to ENT surgeon Perform test like: Eosinophil count Patch test Radioallergosorbent test
Advice: If you know the allergen: avoid it Or use mask or respirator before exposure Drugs: both topical and oral therapy should be used Tablet cetrizine and pseudoephidrine Nasal spray : azelastine or otrivine nasal spray Betanethsone nasal spray if severe Immuno sensitize therapy may be useful in some case.
Hope this may help you Best regards Dr. Sagar
