What should I do if I have alternating nasal congestion?

When the weather is hot, people tend to notice this problem: the nose is prone to alternating nasal congestion, especially in the morning. If you don't pay attention, you may have a runny nose and can't smell anything. In this case, you probably need to be vigilant. For alternating nasal congestion, you can choose to fumigate with green onions or hot air.

Nasal congestion is a common local symptom of the nose. There are many diseases with symptoms of nasal congestion. Most of the nasal congestion is caused by local inflammation, which manifests as alternating or intermittent, accompanied by excessive mucus and decreased sense of smell. These diseases are not very serious and can generally be treated by yourself. If you find that the nasal congestion is accompanied by bloody mucus, headache, etc., and it progressively worsens, you should be vigilant and go to the hospital in time to check whether there is a nasal tumor. Here are five home remedies for nasal congestion.

① Decoction and fumigation method: chop a handful of scallion whites or three or four shallots into pieces and boil them into a soup. Inhale the hot steam through your nose, or boil vinegar and inhale the vinegar vapor. Both methods have better therapeutic effects.

② Filling method: Mash the scallion whites and extract its juice to soak into cotton wool, then stuff the cotton wool into the nostrils. Alternatively, 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.

③Side-lying massage method: If you have left ear congestion, lie on your right side; if you have right nasal congestion, lie on your left side. Use two fingers to pinch your nose and massage the Yingxiang points on both sides for 1 to 2 minutes. The nasal congestion can be removed.

④Hot compress method: Apply a hot towel to the nose, or use a hair dryer to blow hot air into the nostrils, blowing on both sides of the temples, Fengchi acupoint, and Dazhui acupoint, which can relieve nasal congestion.
