Nasal congestion that causes severe blockage and inability to breathe may include acute and chronic rhinitis, deviated nasal septum and nasal polyps. 1. Acute and chronic rhinitis: Inflammation of the nasal mucosa causes swelling of the mucosa, nasal congestion, increased secretion, and severe nasal congestion can lead to inability to breathe. Patients can use nasal sprays such as budesonide, mometasone furoate and fluticasone propionate as prescribed by the doctor to relieve the symptoms. 2. Deviated septum: A deviated or protruding septum causes nasal dysfunction, resulting in persistent nasal congestion and the feeling of being unable to breathe. Patients should avoid ear picking and other irritating factors, and at the same time, can be treated by submucosal correction of nasal septum under nasal endoscopy. 3. Nasal polyp: It can cause persistent nasal congestion and progressive aggravation, and in severe cases, it can completely block the nasal ventilation, resulting in the inability to breathe. Patients can take medicines such as dexamethasone and prednisone to relieve the symptoms, and in severe cases, nasal polyps can be removed under nasal endoscopy. Nasal congestion severe blockage unable to breathe may also be other causes such as nasopharyngeal cancer, lymphoma, lung disease, etc., to go to the hospital in time for diagnosis and treatment, so as not to delay the condition.
