Why is my nose constantly stuffy?

I can't figure out why my nose is always stuffy and tingly?

• I have had a chronic stuffy nose with constant tingly for about 8-9 months now. My mother is an allergist and my allergies are under control. I do not have a deviated septum. I have tried every allergy medication and nasal spray possible. I have tried all the other nasal sprays (except Afrin because it is so bad for you) to keep my nasal passages moist. I have tried over the counter cold remedies. I take Sudafed on a regular basis, which helps some. I can't sleep because I am always so stuffy. My nose constantly tingles, but I rarely sneeze. I have bad phases about 1-2 times a day for an hour or two where I look like I have a really bad cold. However, I don't because this has been going on for almost a year!! I am miserable and multiple allergists can not figure out what is causing it. Nothing seems to help...

• Answer:

  It could be chronic sinisitis, or even a fungus. Sinusitis is remedied with antibiotics and the fungus is remedied with sinus surgery. Go see your Dr- not your allergist, and ask for a sinus CT scan. Good luck!
