Children and young people. In 2011-12, toddlers and pre-schoolers (aged 2â4 years) spent an average of around 6 hours per day engaged in physical activity. They also spent almost one and a half hours (83 minutes) in the sedentary activities of watching TV, DVDs or playing electronic games.
There are several factors that might contribute to throat congestion, including seasonal allergies, chronic bronchitis, and upper respiratory infections. Asthma, an illness known to constrict the upper airways, can also cause symptoms of congestion.
When your nasal passages swell due to viral or bacterial infections, allergies, pollutants or certain diseases, it constricts the openings to your sinuses. Air and mucus become trapped in your sinuses. And that can cause pain and thickened mucus. That's nasal congestion.. Nasal congestion caused by a cold will last only 1 or 2 weeks and go away on its own. But nasal congestion that lasts longer and is accompanied by other symptoms may be a sinus infection, or sinusitis.
