There is generally no quick method to relieve nasal congestion, but symptoms can often be improved through warm compresses and massage, nasal irrigation, use of nasal sprays, or oral medications. Patients with nasal congestion can also massage acupoints around the nose in daily life to stimulate the nasal area, promote local blood circulation, and alleviate congestion symptoms.
