Many people suffer from a stuffy nose in certain cases, especially when the common cold, and the situation can pass safely on its own, but some simple tricks can accelerate the disappearance of this situation, according to the site "Russia Today".
But what causes a stuffy nose?
There are some reasons that may lead to a stuffy nose. Usually, this occurs due to inflammation of the blood vessels in the sinuses, as a result of a cold, allergy, or sinusitis.
There are several easy ways to open blood vessels and get rid of a stuffy nose:
- Keep moisture: Drinking water all the way will relieve nasal congestion, and push fluid out. Here it is advised to drink warm herbal tea and fresh juice.
- Take a hot bath: steam from the shower helps relieve mucus and eliminate inflammation. This will allow it to breathe properly through the nose for a short period. The face can also be evaporated in a hot tub, with a towel on the head, relaxing and taking deep breaths of steam.
- Humidifier: Converts water into moisture, which fills the air and helps open the blocked nose, so the humidifier can soothe irritated tissues and swollen vessels. Moisturizers also relieve mucus in the sinuses, helping to empty the fluid in your nose.
- Decongestants: Try a decongestant medication to reduce swelling and relieve pain. Your nose may be blocked by allergies, so you may want to try taking antihistamines or allergy medications.
