Nasal Congestion

Nasal congestion, commonly known as a stuffy nose, occurs when the tissues lining the nasal passages become swollen due to inflamed blood vessels. This inflammation can result from various factors, including infections like the common cold or sinusitis, allergies, or irritants such as tobacco smoke. Symptoms often include a blocked or runny nose, sinus pressure, and difficulty breathing through the nose. Treatment typically involves decongestants, antihistamines, nasal sprays, and home remedies like steam inhalation to alleviate symptoms.
