Can't unblock it, no matter what I do. It is driving me nuts. Fucking allergies :(

I had a surgery to remove nasal polyps. Perhaps you can check with a consultant.

I might do this. I have some myself. What was the surgery like? What was the recovery like?

If you're blocked, it could also be a deviated septum. I had mine fixed and the difference is incredible. Recovery about 2 days .

Every situation is different so it is best to check with your doctor.

For me the surgery was quick, I didn't even feel any difference when I woke up from the anaesthesia. I was released from the hospital within the same day. I rested at home for a few days, had to avoid lifting heaving stuff or sports for a few weeks.

Now I can breathe without having to open my mouth all the time.
