Professional Bio:
After getting my basic medical degree from Gandhi Medical College in Hyderabad, India, I moved to the UK for post-graduate training in internal medicine. I obtained my MRCP (UK) in 2001 and then moved to the US for a further 3 years post-graduate training in internal medicine. From 2004-2011, I worked as a Hospitalist (in-patient specialist) in the US and returned to India in mid-2011. Since then, I have worked in various private hospitals in Hyderabad and I also started my own clinic in 2014.

Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 32 years female with 5'5" in height and 60 kg weight. My nose is closed by cough for the past seven days. Kindly advice.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It appears that you may have a viral upper respiratory tract infection. The nasal congestion can be relieved by,
1. Saline nasal drops (Nasoclear) one drop in each nostril as often as needed. If the obstruction is severe, then try Nasivion or Otrovin (Oxymetazoline) nasal drops one drop in each nostril two times a day for three days only. Do not use continuously for more than three days, even if you still have congestion.
