In some individuals, anatomic differences can cause breathing problems and nasal obstruction. Causes of nasal blockage include:
Deviated septum 
Enlarged inferior turbinates 
Acute sinus infection 
Chronic sinus infection 
Nasal polyps 
Sometimes your obstruction may be caused by enlarged turbinates and a deviated septum. Procedures to correct both problems can be performed at the same time.</description><pubDate>Mon, 06 Aug 2007 18:34:28 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
