What Is Nasal Congestion — and Why Does It Happen?
Behind your cheeks, nose, and forehead are your sinuses—air-filled spaces lined with delicate tissues and small filtering structures called turbinates. These play an important role in filtering and humidifying the air you breathe. When inflammation, infection, or environmental factors irritate these structures, it can lead to nasal obstruction and congestion.
Common Causes of Nasal Congestion
- Viral infections (like the cold or flu)
- Chronic sinusitis or rhinitis
- Allergies (dust mites, pet dander, pollen)
- Environmental irritants (smoke, dry air, pollution)
- Hormonal changes or pregnancy
- Structural issues (e.g., deviated septum, nasal polyps)
- Asthma, sleep apnea, or other underlying conditions
How We Diagnose Nasal Congestion
at Las Vegas Sinus & ENT Centers
Our evaluation includes a detailed medical history and, when needed, advanced diagnostics like nasal endoscopy or imaging to assess the nasal passages and sinuses. This helps us identify whether the cause is structural, allergic, inflammatory, or infection-related—so we can recommend a care plan that addresses both symptoms and underlying causes.
Treatment Options for Chronic Nasal Congestion
Depending on the source and severity of your congestion, treatment options may include:
- Nasal corticosteroid sprays
- Decongestant nasal drops (short-term use)
- Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications
- Allergy testing and immunotherapy
- Balloon sinus dilation (minimally invasive)
- Endoscopic sinus surgery (for complex or structural cases)
What to Expect From Septoplasty
- Typically performed under anesthesia in about 1–2 hours
- No external incisions — the procedure is done entirely inside the nose
- Most patients return home the same day
- Temporary side effects may include mild bruising, nasal congestion, or swelling
- Recovery time varies, but most patients resume normal activities within a few days
Many patients report noticeable improvements in nasal breathing after septoplasty. Individual results may vary.
Each treatment plan is customized based on your condition, response to previous care, and overall health goals.
