Hello,

It is not related to your routine drugs.

As a first line management, you can try nasal decongestant drops like xylometazoline for symptomatic relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an ENT specialist and evaluated.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
