Hello Doctor,

I've been experiencing a stuffed right nostril and occasional runny nose, but I don't feel sick. I've tried various remedies, but nothing seems to help. What could be causing this?

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.

To address your symptoms of a stuffed right nostril and occasional runny nose, it's important to stay hydrated and avoid cold beverages. Additionally, reducing your intake of spicy, oily, and very hot foods can help.

You can try deep breathing exercises to help clear your nasal passages.

For treatment, I recommend taking Tab Taxim 200 mg, one tablet twice daily for five days, Tab Levosiz M, one tablet daily for ten days, and using Otrivin nasal drops, three drops in each nostril three times a day for five days.

These measures should help alleviate your symptoms. If they persist or worsen, please consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Thanks
