I have chest congestion and both my nose and chest feel blocked, but I do not have a cough. What could be causing this?

Asked by Female, 22 ยท 27 days ago

Chest congestion with a blocked nose but no cough is often due to a cold, allergy, or sinus problem where mucus builds up and causes a heavy, blocked feeling. This can also happen with mild airway irritation, even without a cough. Try steam inhalation, drink warm fluids, and keep your head slightly raised to help clear the mucus. Avoid dust, smoke, and cold air, as they can worsen the blockage. If the heaviness or breathing discomfort does not improve, it is wise to consult your doctor.
