To get rid of a blocked nose quickly, you can try a mix of home remedies and simple care that help open up nasal passages and ease breathing.
Home Remedies for Quick Relief from Blocked Nose
-
Steam Inhalation:
Inhale steam from hot water (add a few drops of eucalyptus oil or ajwain for better results). Do this 2–3 times a day. -
Saline Nasal Spray or Rinse:
Use a saline spray or a neti pot to flush out mucus and reduce congestion. -
Stay Hydrated:
Drink warm fluids like soup, herbal tea, or warm water to thin the mucus. -
Use a Warm Compress:
Place a warm cloth over your nose and forehead to relieve sinus pressure. -
Elevate Your Head While Sleeping:
Use an extra pillow to prevent mucus from pooling and making breathing difficult. -
Avoid Irritants:
Stay away from dust, smoke, and strong perfumes, which can worsen the blockage.
Medicines (only if advised by a doctor)
-
Decongestant nasal sprays (short-term use only)
-
Antihistamines, if allergies are the cause
If your blocked nose lasts more than seven days and is accompanied by fever, sinus pain, or thick yellow mucus, consult a doctor—it could be sinusitis or infection.
