I am on Acalabrutinib tablets. And am having a few problems with my nose it fills stuffy and is sore. Is there anything I can take to relieve the dryness in my nose.
I'm sorry your nose is feeling uncomfortable. One of the side effects of acalabrutinibis that it can cause inflammation in the nose which can make it feel stuffy and sore.
You may want to try a saline spray as it can help keep your nasal passages moist and it can soothe dryness. You can also gently apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or a water based nasal gel inside your nostrils as this can keep the area moisturised. Drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day can help the nasal passages from drying out.
We would always advise talking to your healthcare team about this. They might have specific recommendations based on your situation.
