Disease/Condition Glossary

Nasal congestion: It is also known as stuffy nose that occurs when nasal passages become swollen with excess mucus and fluid. Nasal congestion may be caused by hay fever, allergies, nasal polyps (non-cancerous growths) or benign tumours in the nasal passages, environmental irritants or a long lasting sinus infection. It may also be triggered by tobacco smoke, perfume or an infection. Rinsing the inside of the nose with saline solution and using a humidifier at home may help to provide relief from congestion. Consult a doctor if you have severe nasal discharge, fever, sinus pain, or difficulty breathing.
