Question 1

i have a blocked nose every night what can this be ?

Accepted Answer

Allergies: A common cause of nasal congestion is allergies. Allergen avoidance through the use of a dust mite pillow case and mattress cover, as well as an antihistamine like Claritin or Allegra may all be helpful.

Question 2

hi doc, my son gets blocked nose every night. during the day he will be fine no sign of flu or anything but at night he breath with his month. we consult every now and then with the same problem but it doesn't stop. every morning his face will be a m?

Accepted Answer

Nasal allergy?: It is impossible to see for sure what may be the cause but I suspect that allergy likely places a role.  If you have access to nasal steroid spray, give this a try.  I presume that you don't have access to an allergist and your family doctor has not been able to offer any help.

: Respiratory changes. I wonder if this is an allergic reaction with  asthma . See a doctor

Question 4

i have blocked nose, runny nose and sneezing every night. it started during my pregnancy and it never stopped since. before pregnancy it was normal sinuses and flu once in a while, which was something i could handle. my daughter is 9 months old now.

Accepted Answer

: This sounds like an allergy problem. Treatment is available -- see a doctor. If your own doctor's initial advice and treatment don't help much, as for referral to an ENT doctor or allergist. Good luck.

Question 5

how come i wake up with a blocked nose every morning?

Accepted Answer

Possible reasons for: A.M. Nasal congestion include:  if you sleep lying flat in bed, this gives mucus a chance to pool in your nasal passages. While you are sleeping the mucus thickens & you wake with congestion. If the air is dry in your home this can contribute to thickening of the mucus. Are you allergic to dust mites? They infest your pillows, mattress and  bed linens leading to allergic reactions in some people.

Question 6

hello, my baby is 6 months, and she is panting every now and then, and it sounds like there is a bit of phlegm. she doesn't have a blocked nose. ?

Accepted Answer

Mgt.: If she is otherwise well appearing, without fever and playful, it is not likely to be a serious illness. If she seems uncomfortable, is not eating well or drooling excessively, please see acute care. She is old enough to have a flu vaccination. I would recommend trying baby nasal saline drops and a cool air mist humidifier, and seeing your PCP.

Question 7

i been having a blocked nose every other, but today its just a bit hectic in that i cant breath through my nose and my eyes are now itchy, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Congestion: An allergic reaction may be one cause. Take an antihistamine, rinse eyes with saline and use nasal saline for congestion. Monitor temperature. If not improved or if there is worsening, please see your PCP,

Question 8

i. suffer from blocked nose every morning
and kinda of itchy  inside  i end up sneezing almost every morning
its like a routine sneeze?

Accepted Answer

Nose blocked: You may have an allergic type reaction to something in your bedroom or reacting to excessive dryness. Remove dust collectors from your bedroom. No pets. Try taking a plain antihistamine like diphenhydramine which won't keep you awake. A nasal decongestant spray upon awakening would unblock your nasal passages. A humidifier improves a very dry environment.

Question 9

i have continuous blocked nose and head cold symptoms every month any advice on how to prevent them comin?

Accepted Answer

Probable allergy: Colds or viral infections are intermittent and last 5 to 7 days.  Almost always continous blockage is due to allergy and treatment is more likely nasal sprays or antihistamines,,, a one sided blockage is more likely a deviated nasal septum

Question 10

every time there is a fan on. i get blocked nose. only in spring season. if i use spray it start burning and might get sneezing a lot.plz any solution?

Accepted Answer

Cool mist humidifier: A common cause of congestion during spring and summer months (since it is now nearly spring to our Southern Hemisphere friends) is dry air. Fans dry out your nasal mucosa, leading to congestion. Try a saline nasal spray every few hours, to keep the mucosa moist. Hope this helps!
