I am unable to breathe due to a blocked nose. Why is it still blocked after using a nasal spray?
Your nose may stay blocked after using a nasal spray if you use it too long, if the mucus is thick, or if you have allergies, an infection, nasal polyps, or a deviated septum. Try saline rinses, steam, and sitting upright, but seek urgent care if you have severe trouble breathing, blue lips, or a high fever.
