Question 4

Question 5

nose twitch whenever i blink 4 almost a year.  why i have it? dr didn't give exact reason said maybe due to a congestion which i never complained from

Accepted Answer

Same muscles: The muscles of the face that control blinking and winking are very close to those that elevate your nose.  Many people can't wink without moving their nose.  I can wink with my right eye without moving many other facial muscles but i can't wink my left without moving half my face.  Have you ever had a facial weakness like a bell's palsy?  This would be very common after that.

Please be concerned and see the physician for:
productive cough which is yellow or green
increased congestion in the chest
persistent fever over 101 degrees
pain in the ears
difficulty in swallowing
wheezing.

Question 7

can nicotine replacement lozenges cause stuffy nose and congestion?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Well, we know the nicotine inhaled products list "rhinitis" as a side effect and since rhinitis basically refers to stuffy nose, runny nose and congestion, then yes, more than likely the lozenges would have similar side effects.

Question 8

child has runny nose/congestion all the time on and off ever since school started. what could be the cause for ongoing congestion?

Accepted Answer

Allergic rhinitis: Persistent nasal congestion with sneezing and clear nasal drainage, without fever, is suggestive of allergies.  This usually responds nicely to over the counter allergy medications intended to be taken once daily.  It is also not uncommon for young children to get upper respiratory infections once a month during early years of daycare or elementary school (usually viral).

Question 9

what viruses cause chest congestion migraine and stuffy nose?

Accepted Answer

No virus: Causes all of that but migraine can

Question 10

can sudden weather change from warm to cold outside cause runny nose/congestion in children?

Accepted Answer

Yes. : Yes it can. During this cold season it is possible that the symptoms are related to allergies (called allergic rhinitis) or something called non allergic rhinitis. Both conditions have overlapping symptoms with runny nose and swollen nasal passages that lead to nasal congestion and sometimes sneezing. The important thing is to see a doctor to make the diagnosis and begin the correct treatment.
