Nasal congestion, or obstruction, can be acute (sudden) or chronic (long-standing). Congestion refers to a waxing and waning phenomenon, whereas obstruction is constant.<\/p>


<\/p>

The sudden appearance of congestion can be due to changes in temperature, a viral infection, allergies, or sudden exposure to inhaled irritants. <\/p>


<\/p>

Progressive deterioration of nasal breathing over time can be due to allergies or chronic inflammation, nasal polyps or chronic sinusitis. Long-standing nasal obstruction, particularly after a trauma, can be caused by septal deviation, enlarged turbinates, or a nasal valve problem. <\/p>


<\/p>

Evaluation by an ENT surgeon is essential to determine the cause of your nasal obstruction. The evaluation starts with a complete questionnaire and a physical examination that incluses nasal endoscopy (with a camera). Your doctor may also send you to do additional tests such as allergy testing or a CT scan of your sinuses.<\/p>


<\/p>

Treatments vary depending on the cause, and can include nasal steroids, allergy desensitisation, nasal strips or cones, saline rinses, antibiotics, oral steroids, or different types of surgery.<\/p>
