How to relieve symptoms of a runny nose: a doctor listed the most effective methods
Most often, nasal congestion is a sign of a cold. But sometimes this symptom alone begins to bother you, which certainly cannot be called a reason to stay home and take sick leave.
However, a runny nose still causes inconvenience and spoils the quality of life.
Usually special drops help. But they cannot be used for a long time and often, as they provoke addiction. Therefore, doctors do not recommend using them for more than 2-3 days.
Besides, you can’t get rid of a runny nose quickly, but you can relieve the symptoms with safer methods.
General practitioner Vladimir Sibirsky spoke about the most effective methods in an interview with representatives of the publication Gazeta.Ru .
As the specialist noted, rinsing with saline solutions, which relieve swelling, helps combat the problem.
Sibirsky spoke about the benefits of hot drinks containing paracetamol, anti-inflammatory drugs that also help with a runny nose.
You can also use inhaled steroids or hormonal drugs in the form of a spray. They relieve swelling, important for allergic rhinitis.
