Nose block remedy Problem in the anatomy of the inner nostril causes problem in sleeping. Deviation of the septum in the nostril results in blocked nose, thereby causing snoring. Presence of polyps and deviated septum calls for immediate attention.
Surgery is the only alternative, as nasal sprays fail to have any effect on the same. Nasal irrigation with saline is recommended, though not possible in small children. Chronic sinusitis is yet another culprit.
Allergic rhinitis is accompanied by nasal blockage and sneezing. Inflammation in the nasal passage, due to infection is yet another contributing factor. Olive oil or sesame seed (sesame) oil is rubbed in the inner sides of the nostril. Usage of humidifier and ionizer in the bedroom also helps. Elimination diet, such as diet devoid of dairy products and so on works. This requires the guidance of a nutritionist. Steam inhalation proves beneficial. A drop of eucalyptus oil in the water is helpful. Spicy foods are avoided. Soups and broths are provided. Placing the head in an elevated level also helps.
