A member asked:
I heard a loud whistle from one nostril as i breathed out a few times. i used nasal spray,so it stopped. but should i be worried? never heard that b4.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal congestion: It is likely that something has caused that nostril to swell up causing the whistling. This may be from a cold or from allergy depending on the duration of the symptoms. If from allergy, then you likely have had some congestion for some time and developed whistling when the congestion worsens. If this has been present for more than 2 weeks and bothersome to you, see doctor.
