2. DESCRIPTION (الوصف مع الهاشتاجات):
When you catch a cold, it feels like your skull is completely filled with gallons of mucus. But that isn't what's actually blocking your breathing.

Most nasal congestion isn't mucus at all. It is blood. 

Your nasal passages are lined with erectile venous tissue. When a respiratory virus lands, immune histamines dilate those deep blood vessels, swelling the turbinates until your airways are pressed nearly shut. 

At the exact same time, specialized mucosal goblet cells pump out over a liter of clear fluid a day to flush away viral particles and protect your airway. 

The stuffiness isn't a malfunction. It is your body's vascular barrier fighting off an infection before it can reach your lungs.
