Try netti pot: Saline irrigations with a netti pot or sinurinse bottle may help. An exam by an ENT would help tell what might be blocking your nose. Swollen tissue due to allergy or other irritants, nasal polyps , chronic infection or large adenoids could all play a part. Steroid nasal sprays are frequently prescribed for a month, as they are probably the most helpful, safe medication for nasal congestion.
