If you still don’t feel unblocked after a few inhalations, exhale through your nose a few times. Repeat this cycle a few times and your nose will be unblocked.

3. You can also buy nasal patches, which are also very effective. Stick them directly above the nose and mouth, and your nose will gradually feel unblocked and cool. But after all, it is sticky, so it will be a bit uncomfortable on the nose.
