Bella Vista ENT Nasal Congestion Treatment
Nasal Congestion Treatment in Thousand Oaks, CA
Whether it is brought on by allergies or illness, nasal congestion is something nearly everyone experiences. Congested or stuffy noses result from swollen tissue linings in the nose, often due to inflamed blood vessels.
Although the condition is usually benign, it is worth seeing what treatment options are available so you don’t have to suffer from nasal congestion. Untreated, congestion can make it difficult to sleep, taste, and enjoy your daily routine to the fullest.
Nasal Congestion Symptoms
● Difficulty breathing through the nose
● Pressure build-up in the nose or cheeks
● Headache or swelling around the eyes
Nasal Congestion Causes
Nasal congestion can have a number of causes. The most common causes are other illnesses such as the flu or common cold, as well as a sinus infection.
In other common cases, allergies can trigger nasal congestion. The fall and spring seasons see plenty of allergy-related cases of congestion. However, the cause for nasal congestion may also be from allergies within your own home. This could stem from things such as dust, animals, or even mold growth. When talking with our specialists, it is important to be mindful of what may be causing your nasal congestion.
In more rare circumstances, congestion may be a result of nasal polyps. These are growths of inflamed tissue lining the nose. While polyps mostly do not cause problems, they can occasionally create obstructions that make you prone to congestion.
Another major cause of nasal congestion is a deviated septum. The septum is the thin wall that separates your left and right nasal passages. Sometimes, either from birth or by accident, this wall may bend and make it easier to become congested.
