Ok, I have this problem for a couple years
now.
Every time it's winter I get respiratory
problems.
Like when it's really cold.
I did a blood test, x-rays for my chest &
nose...All nothing!!
So I went to a nose specialist and he told
me I have a mild rhinitis(not enough to
operate).
That was last year.
So this winter it's back again.
I'm going back to my nose specialist on
the 22nd of jan.
Sometimes at night I can't sleep cuz I
can't breathe.
Even when I take a shower it gets worse.
Today i'm gonna try that vicks humidifier
machine.
it's not asthma neither.
please help me if u can.
thx in advance!
You can always try to breath through your
mouth instead of your nose while you
sleep. Additionally, you can use a
decongestant nose drops to relieve the
discomfort in the nose. Decongestant drops
can only relieve the nose congestion, but
not the disease. For real treatment you'll
need a correct diagnosis, first. “Mild
rhinitis” is not a complete diagnosis.
Nose inflammation (rhinitis) can be acute
or chronic. Both of the major types, acute
and chronic rhinitis, are subdivided in
several types which have different
etiologies, duration, therapies and
prognoses. You SHOULD consult an
ENT-specialist for a precise diagnosis and
to seek proper therapy.
