Very often situations arise when the nose is stuffy, but there is no runny nose. And during this period the first signs of a cold are observed: weakness, weakness, malaise.
And along with all these signs, nasal congestion without snot occurs. This condition often portends an acute respiratory illness. In this situation, you can resort to vasoconstrictor drops.
One of the causes of nasal congestion without snot is deformation of the nasal septum. This symptom does not appear immediately, it can be preceded by a long period. To eliminate this drawback, a corresponding operation is performed on the nasal septum, and, as a rule, the patient then begins to breathe freely.
Also, nasal congestion without snot can be the result of proliferation of polyps located in the nasal cavity. With polyps, the development of symptoms occurs slowly, in accordance with the filling of the nasal cavity. In this case, one also cannot do without surgical intervention, the use of any other means only temporarily eases the situation.
Of course, nasal congestion without snot introduces a certain discomfort. In addition, breathing through the mouth increases the risk of infections, germs, and dust particles. When breathing through the nose, the air is humidified, its temperature is regulated, and any unnecessary elements of particles in the air are delayed. Self-medication will not give the desired result, so you should contact a specialist. If you do not turn to him in time and rely on self-medication, then the disease can take a lingering character and go into a chronic form.
Chronic nasal congestion can lead to consequences such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, chronic bronchitis, allergic rhinitis. Against the background of this, headaches and neuroses are becoming more frequent, brain functioning disorders are observed. Improper or incomplete treatment of the acute form also leads to the development of a chronic disease. As a result of this, chronic rhinitis can occur. Permanent allergies, circulatory disorders in the nasal mucosa can also be its prerequisites.
Chronic rhinitis is divided into several types: hypertrophic, atrophic, vasomotor and allergic.
With hypertrophic rhinitis, the mucous membranes grow greatly. A common reason for this is a fascination with vasoconstrictor drugs.
The atrophic form is accompanied by an unpleasant feeling of dryness in the nasal cavity, and at the same time there is a feeling of something extra in the nose. The secretions are dense, forming crusts when drying, giving favorable soil for the development of infections.
As a result of allergic rhinitis, there is a strong nasal congestion, in which there are copious discharge, sneezing attacks. But this only happens if there are factors that cause allergies.
With the vasomotor form, pathologies arise as a result of general disorders occurring in the body, for example, with fluctuating levels of hormones.
Chronic nasal congestion is often the cause of sinusitis or leads to adenoids. But there are methods of treating this disease using folk remedies. If you have patience and take treatment seriously, you can completely forget about these unpleasant moments.
Sheep fat is considered very effective in the treatment of this disease. Using a cotton swab, you need to process the nasal cavity, preferably before bedtime.
Strong nasal congestion successfully relieves Kalanchoe juice. It contributes to the rapid release of all unnecessary formations of the nasal cavity.
Of great benefit is the warming of the nasopharynx. You can boil two eggs and attach them to the nasal wings. You need to keep them until completely cooled.
You can also breathe over boiled jacket potatoes. Inhale through the nose, exhale through the mouth.
