My nose has been an issue since I was a kid.
But the last 20 years also has a cost on it.
Can't smell for three plus years, deviation of septum, old fracture, polyp and probably a toll from substance use and work in unhealthy dust filled environment all contributed to this, but it's also part genetic as both sides of my family have crap nose issues also.
I can usually breathe on one side only, but sometimes both sides fully block for weeks and I retch from nasal drip to my stomach. This also happens after most extended periods of traveling or if I stay awake a few days.
Nothing really works to clear it except saline and a syringe, but that too is nauseating.
Lately, I'm using raw wild honey as a supplement. Can't say if it makes a difference. I believe a reconstruction is needed.
Anybody relate, or care to contribute upon how best to mitigate horrible monster noses?
