The tag team is referred to as the nasal cycle and also explains why one nostril tends to get more congested than the other when an individual is sick. The inside structures found on both sides of the nose (called inferior turbinates) warm and humidify air before it reaches the lungs, but this conversion is not as straightforward as it sounds.

According to Dr. Roditi, our noses funnel resources to one side for efficiency, causing more blood to flow to whichever nostril is dominant. When you’re feeling under the weather that blood flow increases, leading to more swelling and mucus production.
