Covid patient- Cold
I am Covid patient and its been 5 days now. I am suffereing from cold. One of my nostril is normally blocked. Even if I take steam, it will remain blocked.
When it gets blocked my entire head gets heavy. When I blow my nose (even after steam) nothing comes out.
If I use otrivin, it becomes as if I dont have any cold. (70-80% better)
Can someone help me understand what is it and how to cure?
I take steam 4 times a day since day 1

Most likely you have mild sinusitis and mild deviated nasal septum.. As of now you must be in quarantine so the best thing you can do is to take steam after 10 minutes of putting the nasal drops.. It will give you relief.. Also take cetrizine tablets daily at night

This could be nasal congestion. It takes some time. You can take oral decongestants as well.
