Nasal Congestion
It's not uncommon for an individual to experience a blocked and congested nose with a sore and irritated throat. Nasal congestion occurs when the nose becomes stuffed up and inflamed. Characteristics of nose congestion include sinus pain, mucus build-up and swollen nasal tissue.
Allergies and hay fever are common causes of nasal congestion.3‘Hay Fever.’ Mayo Clinic, www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/hay-fever/symptoms-causes/syc-20373039 Placing a humidifier in the home may help with a stuffy nose, as the added moisture in the air may help break up the mucus and soothe inflamed nasal passages.
