How to deal with severe nasal congestion

Patient's question:

At night, when sleeping, my nose is severely blocked. But when I don't take a nap, it's fine, with no other symptoms. However, my voice sounds nasal. It might have been going on for over a week. A while ago, I had bubbles on my tonsils and had a high fever of 37.5 degrees, and was given intravenous fluids for two days.

Doctor's answer:

It might be caused by rhinitis. Suggestions: It is recommended that you use a saline rinse to clean your nose with warm water mixed with high-quality non-iodized salt, with a concentration of 0.9%. Typically, 4.5 grams of salt is mixed with 500 milliliters of warm water. Pour it into a specialized nasal rinse device, such as a neti pot, and rinse each nostril separately until the nasal cavity is free of any foreign objects. This method can be repeated several times, ensuring that the nasal cavity does not have excessive secretions. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
