What should i do about complete blockage of one side of my nose? anti-inflammatories and decongestants aren't working. help!
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need look up nose.: If decongestants don't work, it is only one side, and seems to be the same for several days it makes me wonder if you might have a nasal polyp or other anatomic lesion. Best to see your doc so they can have a look up your nose.
