What Could Be The Reason For Having My Nasal Passages Open In Alternate Manner?

Dear Dr.
Every day of my life my nasal passages alternate being open. This happens several times in the day. I can remember only twice when they both war open at the same time. I do have medium allergies to grass/polen and maybe mold in the winter. What may be causing this?
Sincerely, Mark

Hello

This is a normal phenomenon and occurs in all individuals. In your case it may be a bot exaggerated because of the allergy leading to swelling of the nasal passage.Please meet your ent doctor , he will give you medications for the allergy and once that is controlled you will not experience the blocking anymore.
Thanks
