When pregnant, the physical condition of the pregnant woman may become weaker and the resistance may also decrease, so it is easy to get sick. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to the care of the body. However, it is inevitable that there will also be symptoms of a cold, such as nasal congestion and runny nose. If the nose is blocked, it can make people feel particularly uncomfortable, especially when the nose is not ventilated during sleep, which may result in difficulty breathing and sleeping. So, what are the ways to improve nasal congestion in pregnant women?
Firstly, a humidifier can be placed in the room because sometimes the lack of ventilation in the nose may be caused by extreme dryness. Therefore, placing a humidifier can have the effect of moistening the air, so that the inside of the nose will also feel moist, effectively eliminating the dryness of the nose. However, the humidifier should not be used for too long, and can be turned off after about an hour.
Secondly, apply hot compress to the nose, which is a quick way to relieve stuffiness. Dip a towel in hot water and apply it to the nose to allow hot air to enter the nasal cavity, thereby opening the pores and expelling toxins, eliminating stuffiness in the nose. In addition, proper massage of the nose can also alleviate the condition of lack of ventilation, as it can stimulate acupoints and promote blood circulation.
Thirdly, if the nose is not ventilated due to a cold, drinking some brown sugar ginger water can help drive away the cold, and the symptoms of the cold will gradually disappear.
