October 6, 20241 yr For almost 3 days now my nose has been blocked. I have used various sprays but they do not help. Anyone else have a similar problem?
October 7, 20241 yr In my case it is likely a recent change in my BP medicine. It is listed as a fairly common side effect.
October 7, 20241 yr I've had a cold of varying degrees for nearly 5 weeks now and it has sort of gone to my nose now. I also had a very bad cough for about 3 weeks of the cold but it is slowly disappearing. I'm in the rural lower east of Issan.
October 7, 20241 yr Hmmmm, yes I have had a stuffy nose the past couple of days. I'll leave it until it interferes with my life before seeking any treatment.

Where are you and how you live. First I would think of dust in and outside. Second I think of paint and clothes/material. Also detergents will have an impact. Also replace your Aircon filters.
October 7, 20241 yr A cold for 2 weeks, sore throat, then sneezing, then gets on chest, these thai colds are slow and linger, maybe covid

Sometimes I also have that problem. And I have "magic" medicine against it. The medicine is prescription only and they don't sell it in pharmacies. So, I suggest, visit a doctor. The magic part is that if I have that problem and I take one little pill, in 15min the problem is gone for 3 days. But it's important that I take the pills only if really necessary. Regular use is not a good idea, according to my doctor.

October 7, 20241 yr With all due respect why would you seek medical advice on this site? You don't state where you live but in Chiang Mai you can see a specialist for about 600 baht consultation fee at Chiang Mai Ram and cheaper if you go to a Government Hospital. Surely your health is worth that amount?
October 7, 20241 yr I have had the same thing, mild sinus issues, and late-in-the-day sinus headaches ever since the weather turned <deleted>e.

Which it would seem we are. I see no point in going to a doctor and likely receiving an unnecessary course of antibiotics for something that seems to be a temporary seasonal irritation.

October 8, 20241 yr Don't over use the sprays, that can make it worse, try a course of "Tiffy" , but be aware they make you very drowsy Decongestant nasal sprays and drops should not be used for more than a week at a time because using them for too long can make your stuffiness worse https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/decongestants/

If he is not seeking medical advice what is he seeking? A blocked nose and sprays don't work sounds like a problem to me.
