Re: nose always blocked
Used to happen to me. I have a deviated septum, very common, and my ENT specialist said that while surgery is recommended, it may not solve the problem a 100%. What happens is that any exposure to the cold virus or any bacterial infection can cause upper respiratory trouble, and for someone who has a sensitive immune system or problems such as deviated septums, or is allergy prone, you could end up in a sinus infection which causes the congestion you may be experiencing.
Good you had an x-ray done. Meet up with your ENT specialist. They will prescribe nasal sprays/saline water and/or an antibiotic. Take vitamins to boost your immunity and cover your nose/mouth in the cold air. Before you sleep, flush your nose with some saline water (Ocean spray). Really helps.
