How long does a blocked nose last?
Nasal congestion is often caused by common colds, flu, sinus infections, or allergies and will usually resolve by itself within a week to 10 days.
If your blocked nose lasts longer than 10 days, it may be a sign of infection or an underlying medical condition – so it’s worth contacting a doctor as soon as possible.
