Common treatments for nasal congestion due to rhinitis include nasal irrigation and medication. For example, nasal irrigation typically involves using physiological saline to rinse the nasal mucosa, reducing nasal secretions, improving nasal airflow, and relieving congestion. Additionally, medications such as loratadine or cetirizine hydrochloride may be used as directed by a physician to reduce mucosal swelling; this usually leads to improvement in symptoms of rhinitis and nasal congestion.
