Okay so I’m 18 & I’ve been having allergies ever since I was little. I know I’m allergic to almost everything (wood, carpet,dogs, etc). & my allergies isn’t bad. All I get is tuning/stuffy nose.then I just get some of that minty cream (sorry forgot the name but it’s strong like ben gay) that help open my nostrils when it get congested & I also have the spray I put up my nose that’s prescribed by the doctor. So all that being said whenever there was an issue with my nose I use the spray, minty cream on, or I just wait for my nose to clear up. But for some odd reason it’s like my nose is immune to it. Like my nose won’t even be congested & I can’t smell or breathe through it. I try putting spray up there but that only help with congestion but nose doesn’t be congested. Like the top of my nose throbbing a little. Nose feel clear but I can’t breathe. Feel like somebody took there fingers & plugged my nose. My head hurt I think from it. My ears feel plugged (yes I clean my ears often) & this just been going on for months now (MORE THAN 4months). So does anyone have a clue what may be wrong? Have you experienced this yourself? Is it a serious issue? help me out here it feel like I’m suffercating 😭

    Have you gone to an ear, nose and throat specialist? You could have nasal polyps and or a sinus infection.

      I have bad allergies and would get sinus infections. Eventually I couldn’t breathe or smell. I had nasal polyps. They have to be removed surgically. Do a google search on nasal polyps. You need to see an ear nose and throat specialist to confirm if you have them.
