The possible causes of nasal congestion in the morning include allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, and structural abnormalities of the nasopharynx.
When allergic rhinitis occurs, if there are allergens at home, such as animal dander, the nasal mucosa may have a stress reaction, which may lead to an increase in nasal secretions, thus blocking the nasal passages. After getting up and detaching from the allergens, symptoms such as nasal congestion can be relieved.
In chronic rhinitis and sinusitis, the nasal cavity can be blocked due to the accumulation of purulent secretions in the nasal cavity, and the symptoms of nasal congestion can be relieved by blowing out the secretions after getting up.
In addition, for the nasopharyngeal structure abnormalities such as adenoid hypertrophy, it is easy to block the nasal cavity when lying down to sleep, which can cause nasal congestion, and the symptoms can be relieved after getting up.
It is recommended to go to the hospital to find out the cause of the nasal congestion, and then go for standardized treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
