What to do if you have a stuffy nose and runny nose due to a cold in summer

In life, the most common disease we encounter is the common cold. Almost everyone has had a cold, and nasal congestion and runny nose are the most common symptoms. A cold can make us restless and make it difficult to concentrate. Some people think that a cold is just a minor illness that will go away if they endure it, and there is no need to take medicine. In fact, this idea is wrong, and they don't understand it correctly at all. So what should you do if you have a cold and runny nose in the summer?

There are several ways to treat a runny nose caused by a cold.

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

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. This will eliminate the nasal congestion.

This method is suitable for babies. When babies have a stuffy nose, they often cry non-stop. At this time, you can hold the baby upright and he will soon fall asleep peacefully.

Mash the scallion whites and soak the juice into cotton wool, then stuff the cotton wool into the nostrils. Alternatively, cut a clove of garlic 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.

Take a handful of scallions or chop three or four shallots (onions) into a decoction and inhale the hot air through your nose, or boil vinegar and inhale the vinegar vapor. Both are effective.

Tips for preventing runny nose when having a cold

If you have a runny nose over and over again, it means you have lung heat. You should stop eating fish, shrimp, and all kinds of stir-fried, puffed, and fried foods, and eat less mutton, peppers, onions, ginger, and garlic. Most friends who have a runny nose have an unreasonable diet, so they should pay attention to making timely adjustments. In addition, you can also apply garlic to the soles of your feet. Some friends only apply it once - 30 to 60 minutes, and they can significantly reduce the internal heat, dredge the meridians, and no longer have a runny nose. Some friends only have a slight improvement, and you can apply it again after 3 days. Generally, the runny nose phenomenon can be significantly alleviated. The method of applying garlic on the soles of the feet can only be used twice at most. If there is no effect after two times, do not apply it again. In addition, pinching the spine 10 to 15 times or scraping the back can also eliminate lung heat.
