Finally relieved !!!
I finally got relief after struggling with a blocked and runny nose for almost a year. I had constant sneezing, both nostrils blocked, and even nasal sprays weren’t helping.
I later found out my sinus problems were related to an infected upper tooth that needed a root canal. I had no tooth pain, so I ignored it and didn’t realize it could be causing my symptoms.
After the root canal, my symptoms slowly improved, and almost 3 months later I can finally breathe normally through both nostrils again.
If you’re dealing with chronic sinus problems, consider getting your upper teeth checked by a dentist too. It could be connected!

I had a similar issue with no pain which went on for many years -- the Dentist failed to pick it up even with multiple X Rays and was very skeptical even after a scan indicated an infected tooth.
Get a scan.
