Spanish term

gripe llorona

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
This term appears as a symptom in an adverse event report for a drug trial. The "gripe llorona" is described along with sneezing, fever, and mucus. Is "llorona" strictly a symptomatic descriptor ("watery eyes"?), or is "gripe llorona" a specific, named condition?

La rinitis aguda o coriza (del latín tardío coryza, del griego kóryza "catarro") es la inflamación de la mucosa de la nariz de evolución aguda.

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coriza

Rhinitis, also known as coryza, is irritation and inflammation of the mucous membrane inside the nose. Common symptoms are a stuffy nose, runny nose, sneezing, and post-nasal drip.

The inflammation is caused by viruses, bacteria, irritants or allergens. The most common kind of rhinitis is allergic rhinitis, which is usually triggered by airborne allergens such as pollen and dander. Allergic rhinitis may cause additional symptoms, such as sneezing and nasal itching, coughing, headache, fatigue, malaise, and cognitive impairment. The allergens may also affect the eyes, causing watery, reddened, or itchy eyes and puffiness around the eyes. The inflammation results in the generation of large amounts of mucus, commonly producing a runny nose, as well as a stuffy nose and post-nasal drip.

At the moment I have a low confidence level but I'll carry on researching.

Triggers of nonallergic rhinitis can include:

Infections. Illnesses caused by a virus often cause nonallergic rhinitis. These include a cold or the flu.

I’ve only just seen your comment. For some reason I no longer receive Kudoz-related notifications. I understood that gripe llorona referred to a runny nose but I couldn’t find the medical term.
Note from asker:
Thanks for this detailed answer, Helena. From what I can tell, "gripe llorona" is strictly viral, whereas rhinitis is a symptom with many causes, including allergens. That said, it appears that "llorona" simply refers to the "runny" or "drippy" nasal symptoms of the common cold or any such respiratory infection.

nasal congestion

Nothing wrong with 'rhinitis', but this term is also in common use.

neutral Muriel Vasconcellos : I have just come a bout of rhinitis. I had a very weepy nose, but it wasn't congested. I could breathe normally.

Nasal congestion or rhinitis doesn't mean a total blockage, just the blockage of one or more airway.
