Hi Dear,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of persistent nasal congestion which seems to be due to allergies, nasal polyps a deviated septum and poor immunity of body due to respiratory tract infection.

Need not to worry. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on nose. You should keep your head elevated while sleeping and take steam inhalation on daily basis. I would suggest you to consult ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may order CT scan, nasal endoscopy and blood tests . Doctor may prescribe antibacterial along with decongestant and may also prescribe anti allergic or recommend surgery in case of deviated nasal septum or nasal polyp.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
