Nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, and reduced sense of smell. Patients with this condition typically experience yellow or green nasal discharge, accompanied by dizziness, headache, and difficulty concentrating. Nasal congestion may affect one or both nostrils—or occur intermittently—though most patients experience persistent congestion. Additionally, some patients may develop hyposmia (reduced sense of smell) or anosmia (loss of smell). Affected individuals are advised to seek timely medical evaluation and treatment at a hospital.
