I'm getting close to day 3, and over the cotton packing in my nose it feels like something is tightly packed in there and getting more and more blocked. It also feels like it wants to move down toward my throat. The nasal-sounding congestion is getting worse too, and the uncomfortable part is that every time I swallow saliva, the blocked material can't come out, so I hear a sloshing sound and feel a tight sensation. Is this normal? The hospital is closed tomorrow, so I can't even contact them.. Does anyone know about this?
