It also eases the condition, but the problem occurs again after sometime.
I don't experience any fever, headaches, high temperature, bad breath or nausea. Only thing I feel is that my nosetrills are blocked. I also feel that there isn't anything in them to block them, they are empty but blocked at the same time. In addition, while the bedroom we sleep in gathers dust, we clean it regularly.
Do you have any idea what the problem might be? I really hope it's not sinusitis, as I am currently enjoying a summer break from university and a surgery is the last thing I want to experience here  Thank you and appreciated. |
Hi there. I started having inflammation in my left nostril almost 10 years ago. Five years ago I went to a nose and throat doctor who said it was due to post nasal drip and wanted to do surgery! I did not go back to him.
My theories about my nasal inflammation is that it could be due to tooth infection (I have terrible dental issues), or maybe oral infection like cancer, I just don't know. It just never cleared up. Wishing us both to have just a minor issue.
ETA: I also have a problem with my left eye producing a lot of mucus. All I have to do is rub it gently and it will form mucus. It's due to the sinus issue, I'm sure. Every night while I sleep, it forms mucus and dries in my eye lashes. My poor lashes on the left side are glued together from the rocks of dried mucus. It's very upsetting to me. I can't really wear makeup on the left eye.
