Nasal congestion is the blockage of the nasal passages usually due to membranes lining the nose becoming swollen from inflamed blood vessels. It is also known as nasal blockage, nasal obstruction, blocked nose, runny nose, stuffy nose, or stuffed up nose. Nasal congestion has many causes and can range from a mild annoyance to a life-threatening condition. The newborn infant can only breathe through the nose (newborns are "obligate nose breathers").

  • Nasal congestion is the blockage of the nasal passages usually due to membranes lining the nose becoming swollen from inflamed blood vessels. It is also known as nasal blockage, nasal obstruction, blocked nose, runny nose, stuffy nose, or stuffed up nose. Nasal congestion has many causes and can range from a mild annoyance to a life-threatening condition. The newborn infant can only breathe through the nose (newborns are "obligate nose breathers"). Nasal congestion in an infant in the first few months of life can interfere with breastfeeding and cause life-threatening respiratory distress. Nasal congestion in older children and adolescents is often just an annoyance but can cause other difficulties. Nasal congestion can interfere with the ears, hearing, and speech development. Significant congestion may interfere with sleep, cause snoring, and can be associated with sleep apnea. In children, nasal congestion from enlarged adenoids has caused chronic sleep apnea with insufficient oxygen levels and hypoxia, as well as right-sided heart failure. The problem usually resolves after surgery to remove the adenoids and tonsils. Nasal congestion can also cause mild facial and head pain, and a degree of discomfort.
  • Nästäppa innebär svårigheter att andas genom näsan, oftast kombinerat med snuva. Uppkommer ofta vid förkylning, influensa, allergi och andra retningar på luftvägarna. Nästäppa kan i de flesta fall lindras med nässpray.
  • 鼻塞是指鼻道因受到病毒感染的血管腫脹而造成阻塞的情況。它是上呼吸道感染最常見的症狀。 鼻塞成因有很多，而影響亦可大可小。對出生不過數個月的新生兒而言，由於他們只能透過鼻子呼吸，鼻塞對他們來說可以是致命的。對成年人或普通兒童來說，鼻塞只會帶來輕微的影響。 鼻塞有時會影響耳部，使聽覺或說話能力受到影響。嚴重的鼻塞會干擾睡眠，因鼻塞會導致鼻鼾，它也跟睡眠窒息症有關。對兒童來說，因腺腫脹而造成的鼻塞會減低氧氣供應，導致慢性睡眠窒息，甚至是右邊心臟失效。如果發生這情況，就只好用手術方式解決。 鼻塞也會帶來面部疼痛或頭痛，以及一定程度的不適。
