I moved to a very dry climate and have had a very stuffy but runny nose since January. I also noticed that my nose is read and inflamed inside. Its pretty swollen inside (polyps maybe). I dont know if its a sinus infection or allergies. It bleeds a little when I blow it but not any other time. Should I go see a doctor?
Hi, It is advisable to see a doctor as these symptoms could overlap between allergic conditions of nose to all the other conditions that you have thought of including sinusitis and polyps. An ENT specialist can thoroughly examine you clinically, advise some tests to rule out allergy if required, ask for some radiology investigations if required and start you on proper treatment for the condition. Although the symptoms overlap the treatment paths are very different for each one of the conditions.  Srinivasan
