What are some tips for treating cold, pharyngitis and stuffy nose?

If you catch a cold in your daily life, it is easy to cause inflammation, resulting in pharyngitis, and symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose. In addition to medication, you can also use some better conditioning methods, such as foot soaking, which can achieve the effect of dredging the meridians. In addition, you can also use fumigation, which is very effective for severe nasal congestion symptoms.

1. Foot soaking method:

Soak your feet in hot water before going to bed. Pour the hot water into the bucket little by little and soak your feet slowly. You will feel a stream of heat flowing from the soles of your feet to your vest and slowly spread throughout your body. If you don’t achieve this effect, soak your feet again. Soak for at least ten to twenty minutes a day.

2. Frying and smoking method:

Take a small handful of scallion whites or three or four shallots, chop them into pieces and boil them into a soup. Inhale the hot steam through your nose. Or boil some vinegar and inhale the vinegar vapor. Both have better therapeutic effects.

3. Filling method:

Mash the scallion whites and extract its juice to soak into cotton wool, then stuff the cotton wool into the nostrils. Or cut a garlic clove into a cylinder slightly smaller than the nostrils, wrap it with a thin layer of cotton or gauze and stuff it into the nostrils. This also has a good effect.

4. Side-lying massage method:

If you have left-side ear congestion, lie to the right; if you have right-side nasal congestion, lie to the left. Use two fingers to pinch your nose and press and rub the Yingxiang points on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes. The nasal congestion can be removed.

5. Hot compress method:

Apply a hot towel to your nose, or use a hair dryer to blow hot air into your nostrils, blowing on both sides of the temples, Fengchi acupoints, and Dazhui acupoints, and the nasal congestion can be relieved.

6. Transposition method:

This method is suitable for babies. When a baby has a stuffy nose, he or she often cries non-stop. At this time, you can hold the baby upright and he or she will soon fall asleep peacefully. The most important thing is to avoid certain foods and keep warm. Otolaryngologists point out that acute nasopharyngitis has an acute onset and symptoms include dryness and burning sensation in the posterior nasal passages, dry and sore throat, nasal congestion and runny nose, excessive sputum, fever and other cold symptoms. Timely treatment of symptoms can prevent them from becoming chronic. In order to effectively prevent nasopharyngitis, in addition to avoiding contact with allergens and reducing environmental pathogens as much as possible, you should also pay attention to dietary restrictions and keep warm in your daily life to reduce or eliminate the pain of nasopharyngitis.
