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.
