Breathing is a continuous second-by-second process, and it’s no wonder then that a blocked nose is as irritating as a medical condition can get. Blocked nose is a very common complaint that can affect a person of any age group. The nose can be partially or completely blocked, and it can be blocked on one side or both sides varying from case to case. A blocked nose can be attributed to various reasons. It can be caused by cold, flu for a week or two but if it persists for more long time then it could be from some other health conditions. First among these is nasal polyps (soft, non-cancerous growths in the nose), the second is nasal allergies. Another reason can be a deviated nasal septum (DNS) in which there is a displacement of the wall separating the nostrils to one side. Further causes includs sinusitis (inflammation of tissue lining the paranasal sinuses) and hypertrophy of nasal turbinates (the enlargement of bony structures inside the nose). Enlarged adenoids (the enlargement of the tissue present at the junction of the back of the nose and throat) are an important cause of blocked nose in kids. The nose can be blocked in isolation or in conjunction or alteration with nasal discharges. Some other symptoms may also attend like sneezing, headache, post nasal discharge, cough, loss of smell depending on the cause.
Homeopathy is a very effective mode of treatment for nasal blockage cases. Homeopathic medicines, which are made of natural substances are completely safe with no side effects, are best for the treatment of a blocked nose. They function on the core of the issue for effective cure in blocked nose. Simultaneously, symptoms like nasal discharge, sneezing, post nasal discharge, headache, cough, loss of smell are also cured. The instant reaction when a person has a blocked nose is to pop in over-the-counter pills or take a nasal spray / nasal decongestant, but relief with these is temporary. There can be a relapse even after you think you are out of the blocked nose phase. However, natural homeopathic remedies for blocked nose not only ensure relief from symptoms but also roots out the cause of the blocked nose.

Hi
My newborn is 19 weeks old. He was fine for the first six weeks and then he got a cold with nasal congestion. That nasal congestion is still lasting. His nostrils seem clear, only when I give him steam then some mucous comes out but even that doesn’t help him either. It seems mucous at the back keeps on increasing and decreasing. I have noticed whenever I take him out even fully covered his condition worsens. I live in London. He is exclusively breastfed and he struggles with feed. He has quite a lot of difficulty in sleeping. He wakes up and cries and I could hear snuffles from his nose.Warm mist Humidifier helps sometimes. A week back he had lots of liquid mucous trapped at the back and I gave him antimonium tart 30c and it cleared that particular mucous. But then now there is more and another nasal congestion. His father suffers from moderate hayfever. Kindly advise what to use thanks.

Which homeopathy treatment can I use to reduce enlarged turbinates in the nose. Both my husband and son suffers from it. My son is nearly 4 and had problems breathing through his nose since birth. When he has a cold it makes it nearly impossible for him to sleep, he stops breathing in his sleep when he is sick. My husband suffer from extreme migraines when his turbinates are swollen. Both of them has seasonal asthma as well. Thank you Carina

My nose is completely blocked with extreme dryness making it difficult to breathe
Respected Doctor, Happy Greetings. I am 49 year old male with DNS problem. Earlier, i have found through X-Ray that mine left nostril has develop with DNS and is the root cause of congestion, stuffy nose by night, sleepless night and frequent cold during change of climate/season. Moreover, i found with the self study that movement i sleep on my right side to night within deep sleep, in few minutes its blocks the right nostril with the stuffy nose and there by its difficult to breathe.
More of , i try to sleep on mine left side only which allows me to breathe completely through mine right nostril – which is found good in shape for the air flow but that really put me in stress and strain following day. With this the half respiration process, whether its day or night could it be any further medically problematic for me in the future to come ?
Kindly advise me suitable homeopathic medication at this point of time such that it helps me to get rid of said problem.
Thanking you well in advance and awaiting your valued affirmation.
With best regards
Mehul Joshi
