How can I clear my blocked nose? Are there foods that I should eat/not eat?

I am sorry to hear that you have been suffering a blocked nose. There are two main reasons why this is so:

  1. You could have a physical obstruction in your nose such as a polyp or a structural abnormality in the way your nasal bones have formed. If this is the case, the best way forward is to see an ENT specialist

  2. Alternatively, you could be suffering from inflammation in the tissues of your nasal passages. To help with this, I would suggest firstly cutting out all forms of cow’s milk and dairy produce (including cheese and yoghurt) as these encourage this type of inflammation. In addition, I would suggest that you use a herbal nasal spray which acts as a decongestant.

I hope that this advice is helpful to you.
