What to do if you have a stuffy nose

Minor illnesses are common in life. The most common illnesses are colds and fevers, and the most unbearable and unavoidable of these illnesses is nasal congestion. Nasal congestion is a natural reaction caused by the cold virus entering the human body, which causes the internal mucosa of the nose to swell and secretions to increase, preventing the virus from spreading further and reducing the amount of virus entering the human body. In fact, as long as we master some techniques, we can keep nasal congestion away.

PS Note: Colds and nasal congestion are caused by decreased immunity of the human body. The immunity of the human body is mostly determined by genetic genes, but the vitality of the immune system is mainly maintained by food. Some food ingredients can help stimulate the immune system and enhance the body's immune capabilities. Consuming appropriate amounts of protein, vitamin E, vitamin C, carotene, vitamin B, zinc, selenium, calcium, magnesium and other substances can increase the number of immune cells in the human body, while the lack of these nutrients will seriously affect the body's immune system function.
