Treatment varies depending on the underlying cause and can range from nasal sprays, oral medications, external devices and surgery. Our ENT providers work closely with patients to discover what is causing their nasal congestion and provide optimal care.
What causes nasal congestion?
Nasal congestion or stuffy nose, results from a decrease in airflow of the nasal passages. This may be caused by inflammation and swelling of the membranes inside the nose from allergies, infection or irritants. Other causes of congestion may include a deviated septum, enlarged adenoids, nasal polyps, or a tumor.
The tissue along the turbinates are sensitive to temperatures, pollens, air irritants, fumes, and even to certain foods you eat. When they swell excessively and for a long period of time, this may cause nasal congestion. Learn more about treatment for chronic nasal congestion due to inferior turbinate hypertrophy.
