What to do if your nose is blocked by rhinitis

We often encounter nasal congestion in our lives. First of all, when facing such a situation, we need to understand the cause. There are many diseases that can cause this phenomenon, including rhinitis, deviated nasal septum, nasal polyps, sinusitis, etc. There are different solutions to nasal congestion caused by different reasons. Only targeted treatment can improve the treatment results. So what should you do if you have a stuffy nose due to rhinitis? Let’s find out below.

If it is caused by rhinitis, then we can choose to use the nasal irrigation method. Put the prepared solution into the neti pot, then point the spout of the pot to one nostril, and the head needs to be slightly outward to one side. Then you need to loosen the pores at this time, and the water will automatically flow into the nasal cavity and flow out from the other nostril. At this time, you need to take off the neti pot, and then rub your nose vigorously to let the harmful substances in the nasal cavity flow out together with the solution. Repeat the above actions in the other nostril until it is clean.

What to do if nasal congestion is caused by deviated nasal septum?

If the symptoms are mild, you can exercise more or use medication to control them; if the symptoms are severe, surgery may be needed to correct the overly curved nasal septum and overly thickened nasal conchae. "Minimally invasive repositioning therapy" is recommended, which can cure nasal septum deviation in one go and prevent recurrence.

How to treat nasal congestion caused by nasal polyps?

The nasal congestion caused by nasal polyps is usually persistent and progressive, and can be unilateral or bilateral. The best way is surgical treatment. After 2 weeks of control with steroid hormones, the polyp tissue in the nasal cavity and sinuses can be surgically removed. Opening the ethmoid sinus under nasal endoscopy to completely remove the diseased mucosa in the sinus is very important to prevent the recurrence of polyps. We recommend you the "dynamic rotation technology", which can clear nasal polyps in one go.

How to deal with nasal congestion caused by sinusitis?

Pay attention to physical exercise, combine work and rest, dress appropriately, breathe more fresh air, avoid dry nose, and do not use nasal medicine easily. Nasal lesions should be diagnosed and treated promptly, and infections in adjacent lesions need to be treated. For various symptoms such as nasal congestion caused by sinusitis, surgical treatment should be considered when drug treatment does not improve the condition. There are many types of surgical treatments, and the specific type of surgery requires the doctor to look at the patient's specific situation and conduct a detailed examination of the nasal cavity and sinuses before deciding. The surgical effect of sinusitis is relatively certain, and patients should have clear confidence in the surgical treatment of sinusitis.

This is the end of the explanation about what to do if you have a stuffy nose due to rhinitis. There are many reasons that can cause a stuffy nose in our lives, including rhinitis. This disease can cause certain harm to our bodies and requires timely treatment, otherwise it will worsen the condition and cause us more terrible harm.
