    Genetics and underlying medical conditions predispose some individuals to nasal inflammation. When the nasal passages are exposed to irritants like dust, smoke, or infections from colds/flu, the immune system may become sensitized to otherwise harmless allergens. Upon re-exposure, the allergic reaction causes excess mucus production, congestion, pressure, and symptoms such as sneezing, stuffiness, headaches, and post-nasal drip.
