Stuffy/runny nose.congestion. what could it be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy vs. Cold: Stuffy runny nose with congestion can be due to seasonal (or other) allergies, but can also be due to viral or bacterial infections involving the nose & sinuses. If accompanied by fever, sinus pressure/pain, or swelling/tenderness over the sinuses, these symptoms may warrant antibiotics. Allergies can also be treated with routine medication use over the counter or by prescription. Hope this helps!
