Blocked nose (one side)

A blocked nose on one side can be constant or may switch sides. If one side is always blocked, it may suggest a structural issue such as a deviated septum, polyp, or rarely a growth. If it alternates between sides, it could be part of the normal nasal cycle exaggerated by swelling from allergies or infection.
