"Identifying Foods and Drinks Causing Congestion"

Nasal congestion can be aggravated by certain foods and drinks that affect mucus buildup and the immune system. Dairy products, foods high in histamines, salicylates, fried foods, and added sugars may worsen congestion, while anti-inflammatory ingredients like capsaicin, garlic, and ginger could provide relief. Consuming nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables, staying hydrated, and seeking medical advice if congestion persists for more than two weeks are also recommended.
