Q: Nose blocked on one side
asked by: princesspea on April 29th, 2009

I have a nasal problem. One side of my nose always seems to be blocked on one side. I've been to the doctors, and they have given me some anti hestimean pills and a nasal spray, but it doesn't work. They said if it doesn't work then i'd be refferred to the ear, nose and throat unit at the doctors. But, i just want to no, is having one side blocked all the time normal? Or is it just me?
Thanks

No, it's not normal, but it's common enough. The ENT is your best bet. You may have a problem with your sinuses (like a blockage) or a deviated septum.

Sinusitis?
princesspea, I would like to talk about what you asked at last. You are not alone but millions of people around the world has this problem of one side of the nose being partially or fully blocked. You are probably suffering from sinisitis, deviated nasal septum, and/or hypertrophied inferior nasal turbinate. None of these are serious problems but are quite irritating. So the best thing would be to be consult an ENT specialist as soon as you can. In the meantime you can try out inhaling steam vapour (make sure not to burn your face) but I am not sure how much impact it will have since nasal spray is not working with you. Do you also have others symptoms such as runny nose, pain/pressure in forehead and/or face, headache, thick nasal discharge, nausea, fatigue? If you have all these symptoms it is almost a certain case of sinusitis. Hope that helps. Good luck.
