Introduction
If your nose feels blocked but you’re not sick, allergies may be the reason. In 2025, chronic nasal congestion without infection is one of the most overlooked allergy symptoms.

- Excess mucus production
- Swelling of sinus tissue
Unlike colds, these symptoms persist as long as exposure continues.
