HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The most common cause for repeated nasal congestion is allergic rhintis which is inflammation of the nasal passages due to allergies.
Once you are re exposed to the allergen then the allergies would continue. Allergens can be dust, pollen, foods, animals, environmental pollutants.
In addition to the decongestant, the use of a topical steroid nasal spray and antihistamine may help.
I hope this helps
