Patients with rhinitis often experience nasal congestion, and blocked nasal passages can be very uncomfortable. The following methods may help improve the condition: 1) rinse the nasal cavity with saline solution, which helps reduce nasal secretions and relieve nasal congestion; 2) take oral medications for rhinitis in combination with appropriate nasal sprays—this treatment usually improves nasal congestion effectively and yields good results.
