What Are the Treatments for Chronic Nasal Congestion?
Chronic nasal congestion is the result of a chronic sinus problem such as chronic allergies, chronic sinusitis or physical deformities. Different treatments may be recommended by a doctor depending on the cause. MedlinePlus clarifies that most chronic nasal congestion is not due to excessive mucus, but is the result of swollen and inflamed sinus cavities. The most common treatments for chronic nasal congestion are immunotherapy for allergies, sinus surgery for physical deformities, and medications for chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps. A doctor should be consulted before beginning any treatment.
