There are numerous reasons your nasal passages can become blocked, and this is almost never fun. We’ve put together this overview of the causes of nasal obstruction and how you can permanently free your air ways.
The Causes of Obstruction
Nasal obstruction can be caused by genetics or injury and can lead to many adverse health conditions:

For permanent relief, a qualified surgeon can repair a nasal valve collapse using cartilage grafts from the nose, ear or ribs.
