Nasal congestion is an important symptom in nasal pathology and can be defined as an objective restriction of nasal cavity airflow because of mucosal pathology and/or increased mucus secretion (excluding anatomical variants). Using the new Grading Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation system, evidence‐based recommendations are made that will encompass different clinical questions regarding diagnostic modalities of nasal congestion: (i) their usefulness in assessment of presence and severity of congestion; (ii) their usefulness in assessment of etiological pathology responsible for congestion; and (iii) their usefulness in follow up and treatment effectiveness evaluation of nasal congestion.

“…In affected patients, one or more symptoms, including rhinorrhoea, sneezing, nasal itching, and congestion, may influence the QOL. [12] AR may also be associated with smell-taste disorders. Olfactory dysfunction is a common symptom in AR: up to 23% of patients suffer from a reduced sense of smell.…”

“…Olfactory dysfunction is a common symptom in AR: up to 23% of patients suffer from a reduced sense of smell. [11][12][13] Olfactory dysfunction in AR patients is believed to be caused by block of the airflow to the olfactory epithelium, secondary to nasal mucosal edema due to inflammation. However, medical or surgical treatments that decrease nasal blockage may not adequately treat hyposmia.…”

“…But clinical studies have failed to prove this hypothesis, as there is only little correlation between nasal resistance and the degree of olfactory dysfunction (Doty and Frye, 1989;Cowart et al, 1992). In addition, results of surgical therapy, although improving the nasal patency, are sometimes uncertain when considering the olfactory dysfunction.…”
