Nose/Breathing

I have nose blocked 365 all year round. Sometimes, running nose & sometimes keep sneezing. Its not a cold. I’m having this problem since I was a kid. But back then, doctor said they can’t check anything until i’m over with my teenage stage. Now after like 10 years, I have problem breathing at night too. I went to see a ENT specialist recently & he gave me a spray for my nose but it didn’t do any good - when i use that spray no more running nose/sneezing but there are wounds inside! I stopped right away. He also gave me some tablets and told me to finish the whole course. Now after that, nothing change (except me wounds in my nose). I spent a lot of $$$ on this specialist. He told me to come back to him if still the same. I wonder should I really go back to him and spend some more $$$? I feel like I’m wasting my $$$. Yet I don’t know who else to go to…

PS: I have ezcema & food allergy.

What should I do?

Re: Nose/Breathing

This sounds pretty serious are there no other specialist doctors in this field locally?

I'm no doctor but I know it must be hell what your going through. I'm sure the more knowledgeable on here will help you out. I can only give you my unworthy prayers and hope for the best. :)

Re: Nose/Breathing

I feel for you coz Im in the same position...Since birth I have never breathed through my nose really coz its blocked...apparently its sinus and a simple operation can resolve the issue but I know someone who had the op and it made no difference so I cant be bothered...Im used to it now!

I have days where in the morning I am constantly sneezing as if I have a flu..ppl always ask me at work do u have a flu? lol then after a few hours Im fine...

I dont know what else u can do really...u shud go back to the doc and see if there is anything else they can do for u...but its definitely a sinus issue....its very common

Re: Nose/Breathing

I had a very similar problem.

Always blocked, used to give me headaches and nosebleeds as well!

I had a 'nasal polyp', which I had to get removed.

Absolutely fine now.

Perhaps give your ENT another visit, though I suppose of thats what it is he'd have said so.
