Cervical osteophytes do not cause nasal congestion, if symptoms of nasal congestion occur, you may consider the condition of upper respiratory tract infection or the presence of rhinitis.
Cervical spondylolisthesis is a degenerative lesion of the joints around the cervical spine. Due to long-term chronic injury, it may lead to hyperplasia and calcium salt deposition on the edges of the bones and joints, resulting in the formation of osteophytes.
Generally osteophytes are often manifested as headache, dizziness, nausea, and even numbness, weakness and abnormal sensation of the limbs. Nasal congestion as well as rhinitis can occur with upper respiratory tract infections, and rhinitis can also occur with nasal congestion. If nasal congestion occurs, it is recommended to go to the hospital to find out the cause before treatment.
