Question Right nostril still clogged after 90 days clean

Wondering if anyone else has a similar experience. I’m a cocaine addict, and I started noticing in my addiction that it became hard to snort with my right nostril. I think I mostly used that side in the beginning, so it became blocked up. I thought after I’d been clean for a few months, the congestion would clear up, and it has, but the right nostril still gets plugged up frequently. The left seems to be fine now, it’s just the right that’s bugging me. I’m wondering if anyone else has gone through this and how long until your nose started to feel normal again? I’m thinking of setting up an appointment with the ENT to have them check out my nose.

Go and see a doctor 😊 The positive side of this is now that we are clean, we can start to address our problems in a logical and rational way 🙏🏽

Amen to that, there’s so much health stuff I put off addressing in my addiction, it feels good to address it now. Just hoping there’s not permanent damage to my nose, but it is what it is I guess. Talking to a doctor is probably a good first step.

nah dude, that's way too sensible. roll a dirty dollar up and jam it in your nose, might pop something out and help.
