A runny or blocked nose that keeps coming back is often due to allergic rhinitis, chronic sinus problems or irritation of the nasal lining. Because the nose and lungs are closely linked, it often goes hand in hand with cough and asthma.
Common symptoms
- Constant or recurring runny nose
- Nasal blockage
- Sneezing and itching
- Post-nasal drip causing cough
- Reduced sense of smell
How we help
- Finding out whether the cause is allergic or non-allergic
- Allergy testing where helpful
- Nasal sprays and medicines matched to the cause
- ENT referral if a structural problem is suspected
