Why do you have a stuffy nose when you have a cold?

Nasal congestion can occur after a cold due to congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa.
The invasion of pathogens after a cold can lead to nasal mucosa congestion, edema, oozing and other symptoms, resulting in nasal congestion, runny nose and other manifestations.
After the symptoms of nasal congestion, warm towels can be used on both sides of the nose to improve the blood supply of the nasal mucosa and reduce the symptoms of nasal congestion. You can also follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication for treatment, such as aminoglutethimide capsule, cold spirit particles, and so on.
Patients with colds are advised to take proper rest, increase the amount of water intake, have balanced nutrition, get enough sleep, and pay attention to keeping warm.
Patients with nasal congestion after colds are advised to go to regular hospitals for consultation and active treatment.
