A common viral infection that causes inflammation and congestion of the upper airways is the common cold, primarily caused by rhinoviruses. Symptoms typically include a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat, cough, and general malaise. The infection is usually self-limiting and resolves within a week or two. Other viruses, such as coronaviruses and adenoviruses, can also cause similar upper respiratory symptoms.
