I have tried nasal spray and a neti -pot but I am completly plugged on that side so the liquid does't stay in it drips down. I also have some green mucus only flowing ou the side of the plugged nose. I have tried Sudefed Sinus tablets, overthecounter decongestants, they do not work -steam, hot compresses, hot sauce, forced snezzing - (when I sneeze it only comes out the nostril that isn't plugged.) My regular general practice doctor prescribed steroids to try toopen it up, it didnotwork. Then he prescribed antiboitics, it is still plugged up on that side. I should tell you I might have brought the problem on myself after using overthecounter nasal spray (Afrin) for about the last bfive years. I suffered from the rebound effect of Afrin, and had severe congestion because I used it for over a couple of days, and ended up having to use it daily for the last 5 years. I have heard this can cause the blood vessels in the nose to weaken. Canaspecialistopenmynoseuyp?Anysuggestions?
