Nuyorican45: Stuffy nose

[Radiantr]

Hi to everyone, It's been a long time since I've posted anything but I have read many of the post. I have been very ill and very depressed. I have a stuffy nose for about a month now . Nothing seems to work and I'm concerned!! I also had a lung infection. Anyone can give me advice on this subject thank you so much.

What have you been using . I suffer from sinus problems and also dry burning nose . I find using a saline nasal spray 2-3 times every day has made a big difference 😀

Thank you weathervane for your response. I've tried nasal spray, natural remedies, saline nasal spray, Sudafed tablets but no relief!!!! Have any other suggestions??

Maybe you have a sinus infection, if this is going on for a long time you should see go for advice and maybe ask fir ENT referral. I know its awful as had recurring sinus infections after first rituximab infusion as immune system was so low .

The only relief I can get when have the dreaded sinus infection (3 back to back last winter!) Is menthol eucalyptus lozenges/sweets. Oh, the joy of being able to breathe through my burning nose! Of course, I use these as back up to antibiotics.

I feel your pain. Take care.

Unfortunately it sounds like you may have a sinus infection. You may need a ENT doctor to rule it out. In the meantime you can try using vicks around you nose and upper chest to help with some breathing.

I find antibiotics always clear mine up with in a few days. I had 5 sinus infections last year and all the ones I took them for where gone within a few days the ones where I hadn't been prescribed any took a week to go.
