- Use a humidifier: A humidifier can help to add moisture to the air, which can help to soothe dry throats and nasal passages. You can also take a hot shower or bath to help loosen mucus.
- Elevate your head: Elevating your head while you sleep can help to reduce nasal congestion. Try using a few extra pillows or propping your head up with a wedge pillow.
- Use over-the-counter medications: If your symptoms are severe, you may want to try taking over-the-counter medications such as decongestants, expectorants, or pain relievers.
