Nasal congestion/Post Covid

[ks1966]

Hello peeps

Tested negative a day or two ago. My nasal passage is a bit congested. Is this normal?

Thanks

With the caveat that I'm not a doctor I think it's probably par for the course. I too am in the after effects of covid. Been negative for over a week and was thrilled that it wasn't too bad. Now though my sinuses are completely blocked with nastiness (I can just smell it), the pressure causing g headache. Yesterday I felt dreadful and weird, I actually searched out my old oximeter, was a bit worried when it read 89 then dropping to 82 before my eyes. Luckily it was back up to 96 by bedtime & 97 this morning.

I'm drinking effervescent vitamin c 1000mg daily to boost immunity because I know that the next thing (for me personally) will be a chest infection. I'm also taking steroid nasal spray & will probably get som Sterimar (sterile seawater) for nasal rinse.

Take care. Rest, plenty of fluids and if worried contact your gp.

I hope the chest infection doesn't materialise. xxx

I am a fan of Vit C and Sterimar. Using both at the moment. Sinus has been bad this year. Hope you feel better soon. xx

My nose was no more conjested than usual after Covid, but we are all different.

Could be hay fever. We've had a very wet spring, and not much cold weather. So it could be that vegetation is sending out plenty of pollen. In August and into October it'll be mould spores. I take a antihystamine every day from Fbruary into October.
