There can be various causes but the first thing during nose block treatment is to establish if nose block is on one side or both the sides.
What causes one sided nose block?
Most common cause of one sided nose block is deviated nasal septum. Septum is the structure in the centre of our nose, which can be felt with our fingers. Most people have a deviated nasal septum. The only reason to do something about it would be if it caused one sided nose block 24*7, 365 days a year or if it caused you to snore and disturbed others. Other causes of one sided nose block are,- Allergy leading to formation of polyps (greyish pink-multiple grape like structures;
- Enlarged turbinate (normal pink fleshy mass on the sides of the nose), rarely a tumour.
