A member asked:

I have had cold since like forever. sometimes its severe and have runny nose but sometimes just blocked nose. took meds but they helpd 4 time being..

Catch a cold: A cold lasts a week. What you have is not a cold; probably a chronic sinusitis.Keeping a blocked nose often leads to chronic sinus condition. Suggest you get this treated. See www.grossaninstitue.com for suggestions.
