Swollen nose in the morning

Many people complain of waking up in the morning with a swollen nose. In this case an allergy may be the cause. Allergy-causing pollen can be found in the pillow or in the hair.

During sleep, they can trigger an immune response in the nose, causing the nose to swell up. This can hinder breathing. However, free breathing is very important for restful sleep.

This further aggravates the complaints of those affected. If an allergy is suspected, a doctor should be consulted. An allergy can be tested and treated.

In addition, it can be useful to wash your hair in the evening and change your bedding regularly. This often relieves the symptoms.
