I am 22 and have had nasal congestion as far as I can remember. It causes me difficulty all the time including not being able to speak properly with blocked passages. Has anyone experienced this if so are there any permanent treatments out there instead of using nasal sprays or saline products. any help or advce would be really appreciated.
Answer:
Using nasal spray medicine can have a backwards effect. The ocean-type sprays only add water to your nose.
Try a saline nasal RINSE (not a spray) A full warm water saline rinse goes in one nostril and out the other. It draws out all the gunk and shrinks the tissue (like swimming in the ocean). I've been doing it at work too. It lasts for about 4 hours for me.The buffered salt doesn't 'sting' as much as plain salt water. You can use a new method like Nasopure, or the vintage, Netipot. The special bottle and salt is about $20.You can do this a often as you like with no bad side effects.You don’t need a prescription for this therapy. So if you live in a state like mine, they’ve pretty much “outlawed” sudafed medicine. Drug-free is really the way to go on a frequent-use basis. (I put in a link for “what” and “how” – there’s also some good info on wiki)
I use a nasal spray called Nasonex, it's quite good.
my daughter suffers with this,she finds a facial steamer helps,or hot bowl of water with a little olbas oil, steam definately helps alot, run the shower and stay in there for a while..even the nose strips, try piriton for the allergies, we have tried all the above, u will find the one that works for you the best :)
smelling salts.cheap and effective.
see your doctor, it sounds like sinus problems?
You could have a deviated septum which is causing you to have blocked nasal passages and even effect your speaking. A deviated nasal septum is a crooked wall made of bone and cartilage that divides the nose into two equal parts. If it is deviated this disturbs air flow to the nose.Surgery to straighten the septum is called septoplasty, submucous resection of the septum, or septal reconstruction.To repair the septum, the surgeon works through the nostrils, making an incision to separate the mucosa from the underlying cartilage and bone.This should fix the problem!
Get a referral to an ENT specialist. Do this via your GP. They may be able to find the cause of the congestion.
