I'm really worried about my brother. He's been dealing with a nasal blockage for months now after recovering from Covid. He tested negative and was fine for a bit after vaccination, but now he can't breathe properly through his nose and has to breathe through his mouth, especially at night. It's affecting his sleep a lot. He quit smoking recently after a long habit, and his PFT results were okay, but he's still not feeling well. What could be causing this ongoing congestion?

View allI'm struggling with nasal congestion and its making it kind of hard to breathe properly. Do you have any suggestions for home remedies that might help with this? Maybe something I can try out to ease the discomfort?
Your sneezing response to cold stimuli is known as "cold-induced sneezing" or "photic sneezing reflex." It's a relatively rare condition. To manage symptoms: - Avoid sudden exposure to cold temperatures - Wear protective gear (gloves, scarf) in cold weather - Use saline nasal sprays to moisturize nasal passages - Consider over-the-counter antihistamines or decongestants Consult a doctor or allergist for further guidance and diagnosis.

How much does SMR and FESS surgery usually cost and do they often get done at the same time? I'm also worried about potential complications what should I be aware of before deciding on these procedures? Is it common to combine SMR with FESS, and what's the typical price range for both? I've heard there might be risks what are the most serious ones I should know about? I'm considering SMR and FESS but not sure about the costs or if they're usually performed together. Also, what kind of complications could happen after these surgeries? What's the average cost for SMR and FESS, and do surgeons typically do them together? I'm a bit nervous about possible side effects what are the big risks? Trying to figure out the expenses for SMR and FESS and whether they're often done in one go. Are there any major complications I should watch out for post-surgery?
Yes , if the symptoms of nasal blockage are due to allergy not due to DNS , you wil still feel nasal block after surgery .. It's your body's immune response towards allergens .. you should get tested for allegry . it can controlled but not cured.
