Why do we get a blocked nose?
Nasal congestion, or a blocked nose happens when the inside of your nose becomes irritated. This irritation sets off a reaction of inflammation, swelling and mucus production, making it hard to take in air through your nose.
In short, nasal congestion can have a considerably negative impact on daily life.
There are many common causes of nasal congestion, including:
- Upper respiratory viral infections (common cold or flu)
- Allergic rhinitis (hay fever)
- Sinusitis
Of these, the cold is one of the most common causes, affecting adults two to four times per year and young children six times yearly.
Nasal congestion is the most common symptom among common cold sufferers.
