Allergy, Cold or Nasal Congestion?
Although there is a belief that nasal congestion is due to excess thick mucus in the nostrils, in reality its origin expands to several factors. Whatever the season, viruses and allergens can inflame the nasal mucosa and dilate the blood vessels in the nose, leaving the nostrils narrower and more clogged.
When it comes to nasal congestion, we can talk about two of the most frequent and important types of nasal congestion that occurs often. Allergy is one of the main causes of nasal congestion. According to the data, pollen-related allergic diseases affect more than eight million people across the world.
And the most common symptoms noticed are usually sneezing, watery eyes and itchy and runny nose, with nasal congestion being the classic and most common among all of them. This type of nasal congestion is usually seasonal and appears especially during the spring, which is when a rather liquid mucus usually appears.
This usually seasonal liquid mucus causes our nose to suffer from an itchy sensation and a constant drip of liquid starts to follow thereafter and starts troubling us. A stuffy nose with clear snot and sneezing often also causes an itchy nose and watery or puffy and red eyes.
