Blocked nose but no mucus

[chuckeyegg]

DS has had a really blocked nose especially at night but no mucus. Any ideas?

sinus, yak nasty horrible - sterimar great though if you can get it in him

He has autism so probably not. Would steamy baths before bed help?

ah yes, understand! My son has issues and would be difficult, but I suffer terribly with sinus'. yes they would, being in a steamy room can be helpful - mine get very painful - massage good too, but possibly out also?

Or adenoids. dd2 had permanently stuffed nose till they were removed - and snored, and had sleep apnoea. Does your ds snore a lot?

Have you looked right up his nose? May sound a silly question but my son had blocked nose for ages. Turned out he had nasal polyps the size of a large peanut, which shrank with a steroid nasal spray. They look like a fleshy grape on a stalk.

hay fever? some trees are in pollen at the moment.

Thank you for all your replies, yes he does snore a lot at the moment. I've had a look up his nose and can't see anything. My mum has got a humidifer so I thought I might try that and see if it does any good. If not a trip to the dreaded doctors.

Thanks again. xx
