I have a bad cold, complete with nasal congestion and, at times, post-nasal drip. I also have a deviated septum and nasal polyps. And, one of the most irritating symptoms I get when I have a cold (or even allergies) is a stuffy nose. But, when I try to blow it, little comes out. I m chronically homebound and have extremely poor sleep due to my problems. I know this is not a question, but it s something that I go through a lot each year. And, each year seems to get worse than the previous year.
