Nasal Obstruction
What Is Nasal Obstruction?
Nasal obstruction refers to any condition that blocks or restricts airflow through the nose, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. It can affect one or both nostrils and may be caused by structural abnormalities, inflammation, or chronic conditions. If you're struggling with persistent nasal congestion or difficulty breathing through your nose, it may be time to see an ENT specialist.
