I guess it depends on the carpet type and how dirty it is. What allergies does your child have?

What happens if you breath propylene glycol and have allergic reaction?
You will grow really big and hallucinate, in these hallucinations will be tiny lollipops and giant unicorns. In thirteen days you can suffer severe coughing and eventually die...usually within forty days after the coughing begins. To prevent this from happening, you need to drink an excessive amount of orange juice...all day long. Next, you should really think about what you want to do before you die because you only have a thirty percent of surviving. After that, you need to shave all your hair, from everywhere on your body...you need to be as cool as possible. Take cool baths, not cold. This should reduce the chances of you dying. Good luck and have a nice day...... If you read this far you should really know that know of this is true and I just made it up... Did I fool any people into actually believing this, even for a second??
Sincerely,
A teen who is really bored

When we look into a chronically stuffed nose. there are a few possibilities that should be ruled out, in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis and game plan. Bear in mind as you read that it may be more than one of these.
- Allergies are often the first -- or perhaps flu. I'll spare you this as 4-5 years is way too long for the flu, and you're certain it's not allergies.
- Physical occlusions are a possibility. This could be anything from an original flaw in the structure of the nasal canali or sinuses, a deviated septum, a growth, or anything else that prevents the free flow of breath.
- An infection process may be the culprit. Infected sinuses can cause this effect, either directly, or by creating a post nasal drip.
- Over-use of nasal decongestants can certainly cause all of the above effects except infection, with the symptoms you describe.
After 4 or 5 years, I have to assume you've already had ample time to try all the easy solutions. So I'm guessing this will involve a doctor in order to get it fixed. Look for a doctor that specializes in Ear, Nose Throat (ENT) problems. You'll want to give him the following information, at the least:
- When did this start? And why -- were there any events that you associate with the start of the problem? These might include surgeries in the head and neck region, trips to places far from home, a trauma. Think back and see if you can find any occurrances that match up the starting date.
- What have you and your doctor done in order to attempt to diagnose or correct this problem? Medications, allergy testing (especially this if your current doc diagnoses allergy), imagery and optical exam results.
- Is your nasal breathing always completely blocked? Or does it get better and worse from time to time? If it's the later, when does it get better or worse? Summer? Windy days? Days you spend indoors/outdoors? High or low ambeitb temperature.
- Are you running a fever? Even a low grade, consistent fever may (or may not) be indicative.
- Has any blood work been done? If so have it ready. Look yourself to see what the WBC is (White Blood cell Count), which is an occasional herald of infection.
- Were any cultures taken of nasal swabs? If so, what results?
- What meds, if any, are you self-medicating with? Over the Counter (OTC)Nasal sprays are a classic problem here, and can, over time, cause a LOT of blockage.
- Have you taken allergy meds? If so, which ones, and in what dosage? Was there any change at all, better or worse?
See what the ENT doc says...
In the mean time, you can try these ideas:
- Cease over the counter sprays. If you HAVE to spray, use normal saline. No, it doesn't work as well.
- Talk to the pharmacist about what OTC remedies might work for you that are oral -- not nasal sprays.
- A washcloth soaked in warm/hot water held cloth to the nose can help a little, as can baths and showers. Careful not to burn yourself!
- Also, a humidifier that allows you to inhale warm steam may help as well. Again, don't burn yourself!
These methods are all palliative and short term (unless the problem goes away). Considering the amount of time you've had this condition, I'm pretty sure you'll need an EMT to get this nailed down.
