Been a bit ill past couple of weeks - chesty cough and bit of a cold. It cleared up, then after the couple of sunny days we had, I ended up not being able to breathe through my nose at all, with a lot of sinus pain and 'fizzing' and general urgh-ness. Haven't had a good night's sleep since, have barely eaten the past 2 days because it's uncomfortable to swallow with a completely blocked nose and because I can't taste anything.
Have read that decongestants are not a longterm solution. If I go to the GP, will they likely give me anything else or should I try to manage it at home? I hate the sensation of spraying things up my nose but guess it might be the lesser of 2 evils.
Got like this last year at the end of hayfever season - nothing that I tried would work. Starting to feel miserable and mopey - I live for the odd 10 seconds where 1 nostril will miraculously clear.
Advice anyone?
