What is a nose congestion<\/strong> and why does it happen to so many of us?<\/p>\n

The familiar nuisance of a stuffy nose: what you need to know about the symptoms, the causes and what you can do to get rid of it<\/p>\n

In the winter it accompanies a cold, allergies in spring; whatever the weather, nose congestion<\/strong> is more common than we think.<\/p>\n

It makes breathing difficult and can cause dizziness and headaches and in more serious instances, it can bring pain.<\/p>\n

The symptoms vary from irritated nose lining and sneezing to a runny nose, excessive mucus and even partial or total loss of smell, which can at times affect our sense of taste.<\/p>\n

But what is and what causes nasal congestion?<\/p>\n

When we have a cold or flu, a virus attacks our nose and the body’s response is to increase the blood flow to it; this causes the nasal tissue to swell and subsequently the nasal membranes produce mucus.<\/p>\n

In the case of an allergy, the release of histamine into our system causes the membranes to inflame and become sore, thus resulting in sneezing and soreness of the eyes.<\/p>\n

When the cavities around our nose, called sinuses, become inflamed by bacteria, fungi or a virus, this can result in excessive mucus and swelling of the nose mebranes causing nose congestion, often accompanied by pain around the eyes and headaches, known as sinusitis.<\/p>\n

There are also medical conditions known as non-allergic rhinitis and vasomotor rhinitis which cause a blocked nose, though the cause is still unknown.<\/p>\n

Using an appropriate medicine for these conditions normally offers relief; there is however a non medical solution, that is the use of SinuSet nasal filters.<\/p>\n

An effective system made of a filtering material covering a plastic arch, which makes them easy to insert into the nose, SinuSet filtrs provide a defense barrier against pathogens like smog, smoke, pollen or dust, thus reducing allergic reactions; they can ease nose congestion caused by seasonal colds and flu thus improving our health and well being<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
