My dog has morning nose congestion, grunting & itching. What's wrong?

Pet's info: Dog | Labrador Retriever | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 1 month old | 55.116 lbs

It seems like my dog has a nose conjestion. He's constantly makes a grunting sound and itches her nose early in the morning while waking up. I tried to ease her by giving honey but I don't think it's working. Could please tell me what to do now?

This sign could be compatible with an upper respiratory tract inflammation/infection or eventually to a chronic rhinitis (inflammatory, allergic, infective). A clinical examination at your local veterinarian is essential to confirm these clinical suspicions and treat appropriately. Antibiotics may be needed. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
