plugged up

Sealed and impassable

Plugged up describes something blocked or clogged so that flow is prevented.

A drain gets plugged up with hair, sinuses get plugged up during a cold, a toilet gets plugged up with too much paper.

My nose is completely plugged up—I can barely breathe.

The phrase emphasizes complete obstruction rather than partial blockage.
