Nasal dryness should be addressed according to its underlying cause. If it results from excessively high indoor temperatures or overly dry air, using a humidifier to increase ambient humidity can help alleviate the dryness. If chronic exposure to environmental irritants—such as dust—has triggered atrophic rhinitis, pharmacologic treatment (e.g., menthol nasal drops) may be employed.
