What's a good way to treat a cold and nasal congestion

Most people will experience nasal congestion after catching a cold. Although a cold is not a serious disease, it will seriously affect daily life if not treated in time. After a cold causes nasal congestion, the body will feel particularly uncomfortable. However, there are many ways to treat a cold. In addition to injections and medication, there are actually many folk remedies that are very effective in treating colds.

What's the best way to treat a cold?

1. Soak your feet in hot water

Soak your feet in hot water (until the temperature is unbearable) for 15 minutes every night. Make sure the water level covers your feet and your feet turn red after soaking to prevent colds.

2. Eat green onions raw

When eating green onions raw, you can heat the oil and pour it on the finely chopped green onion shreds, then eat it cold with other dishes. It is not only delicious but also can prevent colds.

3. Gargle with salt water

Rinse your mouth with light salt water every morning, evening and after meals to remove oral bacteria. When influenza is prevalent, you should pay more attention to gargling with salt water. At this time, it will be more effective if you tilt your head back and gargle so that the salt water can fully rinse the throat.

4. Cold water bath

Use cold water to wash your face every day. Use your hands to scoop up a handful of water to wash your nostrils. Gently inhale a little water through your nostrils (be careful not to inhale too deeply to avoid choking) and then blow it out. Repeat this process many times.

5. Massage the nasal groove

Rub your hands together, and after your palms are warm, massage the Yingxiang point (located inside the nasal groove, horizontally at the midpoint of the outer edge of the nose) more than ten times. This can prevent colds and relieve nasal congestion symptoms after a cold.

6. Onion in the nose

What should you do if your nose is blocked after a cold? You can put a piece of fresh green onion in each nostril before going to bed, and take it out after 3 hours. It usually cures the problem in one time. If it doesn't work, try again the next day. It is worth reminding that: first, the scallion strips should be thicker. If they are thinner, firstly, the medicinal effect will be weaker; secondly, they will be easily inhaled deep into the nasal cavity and difficult to remove; secondly, if the patient's nasal cavity is allergic to fresh onions, a thin layer of cotton wool can be wrapped around the outside of the scallion strips.

7. Rub your body with white wine

Dip a smooth hard object such as a copper coin or other penny in white wine, and gently scrape the front and back chest, Quchi, and Quwo of the lower limbs until the skin turns red and hot. Then drink a bowl of hot ginger and sugar water, and you will start to sweat profusely after about 15 minutes. After sweating, the whole body will feel relaxed and comfortable. At this time, be careful to avoid colds and the cold will heal quickly.
