Dr. Yang Shuwen
The following methods can help relieve nasal congestion caused by a cold: 1. Apply a clean towel soaked in warm water to the area above the nose to promote local blood circulation, which can effectively alleviate nasal congestion; 2. Use saline solution to rinse the nasal cavity, helping to reduce mucus buildup and relieve congestion. If nasal congestion is severe, patients are advised to seek treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
