Remedies for Nasal Congestion

Humidifier

Turning on a humidifier or vaporizer can also be effective in alleviating congested noses. Indeed, extra humidity would provide lots of relief. These devices can break up your congestion by delivering more moisture to the airflow, which can thin your nose’s mucus. While cool-mist and warm-mist humidifiers are often equally effective, it is better to go for a cool-mist model. This is especially important when you have children as it can prevent accidental burns. Just keep in mind to clean your humidifier or vaporizer regularly to prevent mold and bacteria from growing. [2]
