nasal blockage

Clogged breathing passage

Nasal blockage is obstruction of the nasal passages, making it difficult to breathe through the nose.

The cause may be congestion from a cold or allergies, a deviated septum, or physical obstruction like polyps.

I've had nasal blockage for three days now.

Also called nasal obstruction or nasal congestion, though congestion specifically implies swelling and mucus.
