- Reaction to some medications.
In addition, in addition to the mucosal edema, the cause of permanent nasal congestion without a cold is:
- Curvature of the nasal septum as a result of trauma, excessive proliferation of cartilaginous tissue or other factors that interfere with free passage of air.
- Polyps - benign neoplasms on the surface of the mucosa, which, expanding, can completely block the nasal passage. Often develop as complications after infectious diseases, accompanied by a purulent process.
