For nasal congestion due to rhinitis, you may use a saline nasal spray as directed by your doctor to rinse the nasal passages and improve airflow. If symptoms persist, follow your doctor's advice to use nasal sprays such as budesonide or fluticasone propionate for treatment. Additionally, drink plenty of warm water when experiencing nasal congestion from rhinitis, maintain a light diet, and avoid spicy, irritating, or greasy foods.
