Blocked nose
I've been having blocked nose problem for a long time and I have taken medication for sinus and rhinitis I've been adviced to take steam and I have been taking it 4-5 times a day for 3-4mins Can taking too much steam cause problems because I have noticed that my nose gets blocked these days after I take it. Should I stop for a while or find an alternate or limit it?
