Do Covid Cause Nasal Congestion

Compared to COVID-19, the common cold doesn’t seem so bad — but it can still put you out with a sore throat, stuffy nose and malaise. Most colds only last a week, but even after you recover, your nose and sinuses can remain stuffed up with phlegm. And that lingering congestion can feel like it goes on forever. Postnasal drip can also cause painful ear infections if mucus clogs up your eustachian tubes. Source: www.blackmores.com.my.

Covid tends to cause symptoms such as a dry cough, loss of taste and smell, and respiratory symptoms (shortness of breath). Sinusitis causes more congestion, post nasal drip, and facial pressure and discomfort. Source. Nasal congestion
