A member asked:

Had a blocked nose for a week and finding it impossible to breathe in through nose... also experiencing bloody mucus when i blow?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

nasal obstruction: There are a few things you can try to clear up the nasal congestion. Try a nasal saline spray like ocean spray, and a decongestant like sudafed. They are both over-the-counter. You can also try nasal/sinus irrigation with a netipot. If it's not successful or you get more bleeding, see your primary care doctor.
