2. Apply a warm compress to your nose. This can help to loosen mucus and relieve pain and pressure. You can use a warm washcloth or a heating pad set on low.

3. Take an over-the-counter antihistamine. This can help to reduce inflammation in your nasal passages and relieve sneezing, runny nose, and itchy eyes.

4. Use a humidifier. This can help to add moisture to the air and relieve dryness and irritation in your nose.

5. Avoid triggers. If you know what triggers your nasal congestion, such as pollen, dust, or pet dander, try to avoid them as much as possible.

7. Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated can help to thin mucus and relieve congestion.

8. Get regular exercise. Exercise can help to improve your overall health and reduce your risk of allergies and nasal congestion.

If your nasal congestion is severe or does not improve with home treatment, see your doctor. They may recommend prescription medication or other treatments.
