Nasal congestion happens when an infection put toll on you and the virus of that infection attack the nose and cause the cartilage to swell up due to which you become unable to take air in from your nose. Many times only one nostril gets congested and you take air by other but quite a few times both the nostrils get congested, which forces you to inhale through throat. This particularly happens in sinus and quite a tiring and painful experience but there are ways to clear the congestion at home.
How to get rid of Nasal Congestion?
- The first thing you could do if one of the nostril is congested just sleep on the opposite direction like if your right nostril is congested then sleep on left side many times this will clear the congestion or at least gives relief to right nostril for some time as the congestion shifts to left one trust me this gives huge relief as your one nostril is closed for long time it feels good.
- The next best way to get rid of nasal congestion is steam. There are capsules available in market which you can put in boiling water as they contain medicated agents to resolve the congestion and take the steam by covering yourself, do this for 2 to 3 times a day this will give instant relief from this problem.
- While going for a shower use hot water and do this for many times a day this also gives instant relief from nasal congestion and even it gives relief from boy pain that is quite a some time associated with this.
- When you are suffering from nasal congestion stay away from smoking and if you have the habit don’t do it until you get well as smoke will increase the congestion and will be difficult to deal with it.
- There are nasal drops available in medical shops don’t worry they are safe on body and unclog you nose within seconds just reach the nearest shop and ask the shopkeeper for nasal congestion relieving solutions but use it limitedly as excess use of anything is hazardous.
- Eat fruits that are rich in vitamin C as this will increase your immunity and especially give relief from the congestion. You can also drink juices like of orange, sweet lime, lemon which contains loads of vit C
- Make use of inhalers in emergency as you have to go out keep it with yourself and inhale the medicine this will decongest your nose for some time but don’t overuse it as I have seen people who become addicted to its smell and use it unnecessarily.
- Drink hot water after every 3 hours this will greatly help in this condition even you can have hot drinks as hot water tastes awful so for a change have soups or beverages.
- Eat something that is spicy I know it sounds strange but acts perfectly on congestion eat something that is quite spicy to open the nostrils just try it out it really works.
- If nothing works and your cold or sinus gets aggravated day by day don’t wait long just rush to nearest doctor and get the medicines for your condition even you can try homeopathy for this as they have good medicines without side effects for sinus and recurring cold.
