Dr. Yang Shuwen
Nasal congestion may be caused by medication or lifestyle factors, such as prolonged alcohol consumption, staying up late, and exposure to allergens like dust. It can also result from environmental factors such as cold air, tobacco smoke, and strong odors. Additionally, it may be due to structural issues like deviated nasal septum, rhinitis, inferior turbinate hypertrophy, presence of foreign bodies in the nasal cavity, or nasal tumors.
