Pulmonologist Advises When to See Doctor for Morning Nasal Blockage

Dr. Sagar Srivastava, pulmonologist at Kailash Hospital, Greater Noida, explains that waking up with a blocked nose may indicate underlying ENT issues rather than just allergies. Many self-treat with antihistamines, but persistent morning nasal congestion requires medical evaluation. Lying down causes blood pooling in nostrils, worsening inflammation and blockage, which should not occur in a healthy nose.
