Many of us have had the problem.
Some of you more than others.
For whatever reason you may have it, nasal congestion,
commonly called a stuffy nose, can affect breathing,
hearing and sleep.
The U.S. National Library of Medicine suggests ways to
ease nasal congestion in adults:
- Take a decongestant or antihistamine to help
alleviate stuffiness.
- Run a humidifier or vaporizer to make the air more
humid.
- Use a saline nasal spray.
- Drink more fluids, such as chicken soup, broth or
hot tea.
- Keep your head elevated when you sleep.
- Use a nasal strip that helps ease breathing by
opening the nostrils.
