Extremely blocked nose since Covid

[Babybirdmum]

Has anyone else had sinusitis/ extremely blocked nose whenever they get a “virus” since Covid which I’m guessing is Covid that’s circulating. All my life I’ve had cold and viruses with varying symptoms obviously a blocked nose being one of them but since Covid I can’t breathe through my nose at all when I get one of these illnesses in particular, there’s no relief from it at all and the it turns into sinusitis usually. I’m wondering if anyone else has noticed anything similar . It’s not a widely mentioned symptom as far as I’m aware

Have you seen your GP? I attended my GP with something similar and was diagnosed with nasal polyps, easily treated with a nasal spray

Not a blocked nose as such but blocked sinus maybe? Causing pressure higher up. My nose feels clear but if I blow my nose like crazy then it takes a while but then the higher up stuff dislodges and comes out, loads of it. Can do this every day and have done so for months. Once I’ve cleared it the pressure goes but it’s back the next day. This is since Covid a while back.

Have you tried nose strips at night? When we mouth breathe our adenoids swell up and it’s a vicious cycle.

also sinus rinsing can help (the saline kits you can buy in chemist)

If you can get to boots or similar today. Get Sudafed Decongestant Tablets
They have 60mg of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride in which will help and they have no other ingredients.
Other tablets mainly have under 10mg.

Hope it eases soon
