Nasal obstruction is the partial or complete blockage of the nasal airway. It can be caused by swollen nasal passages due to infection, allergies, smoke, or structural issues like a deviated septum. Symptoms include difficulty breathing through the nose. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include nasal sprays, oral medications, or surgery to improve airflow. Chronic nasal obstruction can lead to complications like sleep disturbances.
