Nasal congestion is a blocked, stuffy or bunged-up feeling in your nose. Depending on the cause, it can last a short while (a few days) or can be persistent. In adults and children it is usually an annoying symptom rather than a serious one. In babies, however, a blocked-up nose may make it difficult to breathe or feed.

Common causes are:

• Infections: the common cold and other respiratory tract infections, including influenza (flu) and sinusitis
• Allergies, including hay fever
• Persistent rhinitis
• Nasal polyps

Nasal congestion occurs with a common cold. The discharge from your nose may be clear, yellow or green. It may be very watery, or may be thick and sticky. You may feel unwell or tired and develop a headache or a temperature (fever). You may have a cough.

Flu is a viral infection that causes sneezing and nasal congestion. It tends to make people feel very much more unwell than a common cold, with high fevers, exhaustion, aches and pains. The sinuses are small, air-filled spaces inside the cheekbones and forehead which drain into the nose. Sinusitis means inflammation of a sinus. Most bouts of sinusitis are caused by an infection. Hay fever is caused by an allergy to pollen, and is a common cause of a blocked or stuffy nose. If you have hay fever, you usually also have itchy, watery eyes and sneeze a lot.
