What should I do when my nose is stuffy and breth throh nose?

Here are some tips to help relieve nasal congestion and improve your breathing through your nose:

1. Use a saline nasal spray. Saline nasal sprays can help to loosen and clear mucus from your nose, making it easier to breathe. You can find saline nasal sprays over the counter at most drugstores.

2. Irrigate your nose with a neti pot. Nasal irrigation involves flushing your nasal passages with a warm salt water solution. This can help to remove allergens, irritants, and mucus from your nose, and improve your breathing. You can find neti pots and pre-mixed saline rinse kits at most drugstores.

3. Use a humidifier. Adding moisture to the air can help to loosen mucus and make it easier to breathe. You can use a warm mist humidifier or a cool mist humidifier.

4. Take a hot shower or bath. The steam from a hot shower or bath can help to loosen mucus and relieve nasal congestion.

5. Drink plenty of fluids. Drinking plenty of fluids can help to thin mucus and make it easier to clear from your nose.

6. Avoid allergens and irritants. If you have allergies, avoid exposure to your triggers as much as possible. This may mean staying indoors on high pollen days, or avoiding certain foods or animals that trigger your symptoms.

7. Use over-the-counter decongestants. Over-the-counter decongestants can help to shrink swollen blood vessels in your nose, making it easier to breathe. Decongestants should be used for a short period of time only, as they can cause side effects such as rebound congestion.

8. Use a nasal corticosteroid spray. Nasal corticosteroid sprays can help to reduce inflammation in the nose, making it easier to breathe. Nasal corticosteroid sprays should be used regularly for several weeks to see the full benefits.

9. See a doctor. If your nasal congestion is severe or does not improve with home remedies, see a doctor. You may have an underlying medical condition that is causing your symptoms, such as a deviated septum or nasal polyps.
