Dry Nose and dry hard nasal mucus
Since almost 2-3 months have dry nose and very dry hard (sometimes stone like) nasal mucus which blocks breathing infrequently especially at night. Have to wet nostrils inside and clean it multiple times. Any solution for this would be highly appreciated. Had Blepharitis couple of months back for the right eye. Is it relevant not sure.
