How do you keep nasal passages clear?

Answer by  grammybarbj (572)

To keep nasal passages clear in the winter use an antihistamine which prevents the clogging. Use decongestants which reduce swelling and improve the flow of air thru the nose. Nasal sprays that contain steroid can be used to reduce inflammation. An old fashioned vaporizer or a tea kettle with a towel over it is also an option.

There are many good over-the-counter decongestants that will work wonders for keeping your nose cleared up. Also, there are other alternative medicine type remedies for stuffy noses, available at your local drugstore. If your stuffy nose does not respond to over-the-counter treatment, then you should definitely schedule an appointment to see your doctor.

Using a neti pot or some other kind of nasal irrigation system is a great way to keep your nasal passages clear. It is basically a saline rinse that you run through your nostrils, in one nostril and out the other. It clears out the mucus and allows you to breathe better.
