For a Blocked Nose - Use Nasal Washes
- Step 1: Put 2-3 drops of warm water or saline in each nostril. (Reason: To loosen up the dried mucus)
- Step 2: Blow each nostril separately. (Pinch one nostril shut while blowing your nose then repeat while pinching the other nostril).
- Step 3. Repeat nose drops and blowing until discharge is clear.
- You can use nasal washes four times a day or whenever you can't breathe through the nose.Another option instead of nasal washes is to take a hot shower (Breathe in the moist air through the nose and then blow each nostril).
- How to Make Saline Nose Drops: Add one-half teaspoon of table salt to 1 cup (8 oz) of warm water.
