Sleeping with a stuffy nose requires treatment according to the specific cause (e.g. common cold, allergic rhinitis, nasal foreign body and deviated septum, etc.), including medication, general treatment and surgery.
1. Common cold: usually accompanied by runny nose, cough, sneezing and other symptoms, symptomatic treatment, such as antihistamines to relieve runny nose, sneezing and other symptoms, decongestants to relieve nasal congestion, cough medication to relieve cough symptoms.
2. Allergic rhinitis: avoid contact with allergens as much as possible, use antihistamines and glucocorticosteroids reasonably under the guidance of a physician, commonly used antihistamines are loratadine, cetirizine, etc., commonly used glucocorticosteroids such as budesonide.
3. Nasal foreign bodies: foreign bodies can be discharged by inducing sneezing and nose blowing.
4. Deviated nasal septum: besides nasal congestion, there may be symptoms such as nosebleed and headache, etc. Submucosal correction of nasal septum can be performed under nasal endoscopy.
If you find that the symptoms of nasal congestion persist or recur when you sleep, you need to go to the hospital in time to get a clear diagnosis, and then standardize the medication and treatment.
