For the past several months my nose has been driving me up the freakin' wall! It's almost always dry which leads to burning. It also always feel full like I have to constantly blow it, but when I do nothing comes out. This is gross I know, but I have to go into the bathroom and pick all of the junk out several times throughout the day. Most of the time it's kind of bloody, but I do get quite a bit of green mixed in as well. Most of what I get out is on the inside wall where the nostrils are seperated. I've tried many over the counter meds (Mucinex, Claritin, Claritin D, Sudafed, etc), but nothing seems to work. Last week I bought some nasal spray and nasal gel which helps for about 10 to 15 minutes, but then it goes back to burning again.
I've had 2 pretty severe sinus infections over the past couple of years, but my doctor has yet to recommend going to a specialist. Should I ask for a referral? Also, what do you think may be causing this? Any other remedies would be appreciated. This is driving me insane!
