How to treat a runny nose yourself: expert advice
A runny nose is an unpleasant phenomenon that is accompanied by nasal congestion, sneezing, and mucous discharge of a watery or thick nature.
It is believed that rhinitis is a harmless phenomenon that should not be paid attention to. However, it is not. The human nose is a natural filter through which many particles pass through when breathing: dust particles, bacteria, fungal spores. The mucous membrane warms cold air, protecting the respiratory system. In addition, it is covered with tiny villi that prevent infection from entering the body. Thus, the nose protects the body from the harmful effects of the environment.
When the mucous membrane becomes inflamed, it swells, breathing becomes difficult, and mucus forms in the nasal sinuses. At the initial stage of the disease, it is colorless and liquid, after 5-7 days it acquires a yellow-green color and viscosity.
Causes
Infectious rhinitis is caused by viruses and bacteria. Sudden changes in weather conditions, temperature changes, and stressful situations undermine the immune system, and the infection enters the body.
Allergens, growths of various etiologies, and foreign body penetration provoke inflammation of the mucous membrane.
But the main cause of a runny nose remains colds and hypothermia. There are two types of inflammation:
Acute rhinitis is a symptom of viral diseases or influenza. It occurs to the same extent in both adults and children. In the acute period, the patient may experience pain in the area of the bridge of the nose and brow ridges. This indicates that the disease is progressing and has spread to the paranasal sinuses. In 80% of cases, patients develop a complication in the form of sinusitis.
Chronic runny nose is an advanced form of acute rhinitis. The clinical picture is characterized by constant nasal discharge and mucosal proliferation. It is much more difficult to cure, so treatment must begin at the first sign.
Treatment methods
You can quickly get rid of a runny nose at home using:
- steam inhalations;
- rinsing;
- decoctions of herbs and vegetable juices.
Particular attention should be paid to clearing mucus from the sinuses.
Blowing out mucus is carried out alternately from each nostril.
If you clean the nose from two cavities at the same time, the pressure in the nasal sinuses will increase, which will lead to rupture of blood vessels and bleeding.
It is recommended to treat a runny nose with medications and vasoconstrictor drops only after identifying the cause and prescribing a doctor.
An effective method of therapy is inhalation. With this method, medicinal substances are applied directly to the inflamed area. To do this, use a steam inhaler or a teapot with a paper funnel placed on the spout.
To quickly get rid of a runny nose, add 1-2 drops of pine, fir or eucalyptus essential oil and 5 grams to water heated to 50 0 C. soda Therapeutic steams will soften the mucous membrane and provide an anti-inflammatory effect.
During the procedure, you need to breathe through your nose; you should not strain your breathing. The course of treatment is up to 15 minutes. After inhalation, do not go out into cold air. The procedure is best performed in a warm bed.
You can get rid of a runny nose by inhaling the vapors of natural antibiotics - onions and garlic. They are cut into pieces and breathed over them as often as possible.
To relieve swelling and nasal congestion, thermal heating is performed. Treatment of a runny nose at home is carried out using millet and coarse table salt. The cereal is poured into a dry hot frying pan and heated for 2-3 minutes. Pour into linen bags and apply to the nasal sinuses. Exposure time – up to 10 minutes. For heating, use hard-boiled eggs or jacket potatoes.
Rinsing the nose with a saline solution 3 - 4 times a day will help quickly cure a runny nose. For 200 - 250 ml of warm water (glass) take 5-7 g. salt and 1-2 drops of iodine solution in alcohol. Sea salt disinfects the mucous membrane and supplies it with necessary microelements. Chamomile or sage decoctions are also useful for the procedure.
A good remedy to get rid of rhinitis is nasal drops based on oils, vegetable juices, and honey. Eucalyptus or thuja oil (2-3 drops) is diluted in 100 ml of warm water. The solution is dripped 3-4 times a day.
You can cure a runny nose in a child using beet or Kalanchoe juice. The plant extract is diluted 1:2 with water and 2 drops are dripped into each nasal passage, 3 times a day. Add liquid honey to the solution: 1 part to 2 parts solution. It has an antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, disinfecting effect, and will help get rid of unpleasant symptoms.
Rhinitis should be treated at home not only during the day, but also before bedtime. Thermal activities carried out at night enhance the healing effect on the body, since it does not need to expend energy on vigorous activity. Mustard baths will help cure a runny nose. Heat water to C, add gr. dry mustard and lower your feet. The procedure takes 10-15 minutes. Wipe your feet dry and put on warm socks. This is how a runny nose is treated in adults. For children, the water temperature is lowered by 10 0.
Thermal procedures cannot be performed if you have heart disease, hypertension, pregnancy or elevated body temperature.
Folk remedies
Folk remedies will help cure a runny nose at home:
- Laundry soap. At the first signs of rhinitis, lubricate the mucous membrane with a soap solution.
- Kalanchoe. Apply the juice of a fresh plant daily to the mucous membrane or dilute it with water 1:1 and drop it into the nose 3 times a day.
- Rinsing with warm water with 5-7 ml of calendula or eucalyptus tincture can treat chronic runny nose.
- Beet juice. Lubricate the mucous membrane and instill 5-6 drops.
- Aloe. Drip the juice of the plant daily, 4-5 drops. First dilute with water 1:2.
- Tincture of wormwood. 20 gr. Pour 0.5 liters of vodka over the crushed plant. Leave for a day in a dark place. Drink 25 ml before meals.
Treating a runny nose with folk remedies at home will be effective if you have good immunity. Therefore, it is recommended to take vitamin preparations, in particular vitamin C. To do this, take ascorbic acid, freshly squeezed juices, teas with lingonberries, cranberries, and black currants.
Hot chicken broth, garlic, onions, horseradish will help remove phlegm and alleviate the symptoms of the disease.
If a runny nose continues for more than 5 days, heaviness appears in the frontal sinuses, or your health worsens, you should immediately contact the clinic.

Folk remedies help better than expensive drops, just don’t be lazy about preparing them.
Very accessible, I’ll try honey, then I’ll probably try the treatment of Kalanochoe, thank you, it’s good that there is information.
Thank you very much for the recipes, onions helped me a lot after the first use, thank you very much!!
Thanks a lot. I walked around with a stuffy nose all day, but when I tried the onion method, it helped immediately. I recommend it.
Another remedy that helps is to breathe in steamed tomato leaves.
Onions are very good, but nasal rinsing is much better.
Thank you very much for the recipes for the runny nose, onions help a lot, but only if you don’t come into contact with people that day.
Another home treatment method is to set fire to a stick near the garlic head and inhale the smoke, which breaks through.
It is good to treat a child’s runny nose with mustard. First, we steam the feet in water with the addition of mustard powder, and then pour it between two socks. Give it a try.
I treated my child with Kalanchoe, honestly, it helps. But I haven’t tried aloe treatment, I’ll definitely try it.
I tried to treat rhinitis with laundry soap - it helps.
We got a flu shot - so now our ears are blocked and we have a severe runny nose!
Thank you, honey with beet juice really helped, and my runny nose was cured in one day.
Thanks for the advice! I'm going to try the suggested remedies.
It always helps us to warm our feet and put on warm socks
But I have sinusitis, I don’t know how to treat it! Write, help! Thank you!
I recently tried to be treated with rinsing, and I got otitis media. ENT advised me not to do this, she said that improper rinsing of the nose is the most common cause of otitis media. I'll try the onion treatment.
Boil an egg and roll it hot across the bridge of your nose. Helps.
I agree about rinsing - this is the best way to get rid of a runny nose.
Previously, every month my nose was stuffy, I tried a lot and realized that the best treatment for a runny nose is Atmos - anti-runny nose, it is intended for the prevention and treatment of rhinitis (runny nose) of various origins using low-energy, narrowly targeted light waves in the red and infrared ranges...
Checked, I forgot what a runny nose is and I recommend you try it too...
The child is only two months old, can anyone recommend a folk recipe for a runny nose without eggs and onions?
There is also a link to the article “Runny nose in newborns”, read the recipes there - very mild folk remedies for treating a runny nose in children.
Thanks for the advice. Folk remedies for the common cold are the best, you should use them all.
Eucalyptus drops are the best remedy for a runny nose. This is how I clear up my runny nose in a couple of days.
Inhalations put me on my feet, the vasoconstrictor drops give me a headache, and I don’t like taking pills. And I love doing inhalations, they warm you up well and it’s generally pleasant to breathe in essential oils and herbal decoctions.
To treat a runny nose, I spray Genferon light spray. It has a vasoconstrictor effect, so it copes with a runny nose with a bang!
How can acute respiratory infections be cured using folk remedies?
Hot balm helped me with my runny nose.
I’ll definitely try all the remedies; I’ve been suffering from rhinitis for two months now.
Try to burn the core of a head of garlic, such a dry, hollow stick... And
when it begins to smolder, inhale through each nostril in turn. Super recipe.
I'm sitting with a stuffy nose. I don’t know where to start treating a runny nose. I'll start with rinsing your nose. Then I will share my impressions. Thanks for the advice.
I treat colds with herbs, they help a lot. Recently I caught the intestinal flu and could not take anything by mouth, while the dry cough was very tormenting, Ingafitol saved me, I did inhalations over a saucepan. The Krasnogorsk plant generally produces very high-quality herbs and herbs.
I also drink Krasnogorsk herbs. Only I drink them all the time, so I don’t even have to take treatment. Herbs, vitamins, hardening and giving up bad habits - this is my recipe for not getting sick.
Garlic smoke helps cure a runny nose at home. Take a stick (core) from the head of garlic and set it on fire. It begins to smolder, inhale the smoke first with one nostril, then with the other, for 2-3 minutes. This is how I cured my sinusitis
For adults, of course, there are a lot of remedies for the common cold, but with children it is more difficult. You can’t even put a drop in mine (although they say that children shouldn’t use all these drops).
NAFTAZIN and FARMAZOLIN no longer helped. I couldn't put the handkerchief in my pocket. The village doctor gave me this recipe! Dilute at 0.250 grams. boiled warm water, a tablet of SUPRASTIN and FURACILIN and a coffee spoon of table-grade rock salt. Place a full pipette in each nostril, 3-4 times a day. The very next day I did not need treatment! Say thank you.
Soap is a great way to cure a runny nose at home. But you need to use ONLY economic, that is, the old Soviet one, 72%. Antiseptic with a wide spectrum of action. It is this that has a pronounced antiseptic effect, and helps to treat not only runny noses, but also ulcers, cuts, and wounds. There is also the old Soviet IODINOL in pharmacies, it costs a penny. Also an excellent remedy for a hundred diseases. The main thing is to do this often and regularly, the result will pleasantly surprise you!
PS DO NOT WAIT, doctors will never prescribe this for you, for two reasons. Firstly, it is not profitable for them to treat you with these cheap funds, because then how can they make money from you?!
And it’s unlikely that they know anything about these folk methods, because in institutes they are taught not to treat with drugs, but to relieve symptoms and work not for your health, but for the pharmaceutical mafia. This way you can be milked much longer...

Treating a runny nose at home - quickly and effectively!
Nasal congestion is a signal that it is time to urgently take action. Treating a runny nose at home quickly suppresses the main symptoms and restrains the further development of the disease. Timely cleansing of the mucous membrane and relieving inflammation prevents the infection from descending. If you take control of the situation in the first hours of illness, you can protect yourself from more unpleasant consequences.
How to quickly cure a runny nose at home?
Breathing through the nose is physiologically correct. The skull contains many sinuses through which natural ventilation of the internal cavities occurs. They open fully and work correctly only when we breathe through our nose.
When breathing through the mouth, not enough air enters the cavity, which causes a decrease in negative pressure in the skull. Venous outflow is disrupted. Swelling and headache appear. Excess fluid accumulates in the sinuses, which becomes a breeding ground for pathogens.
A runny nose leads to congestion, congestion to mouth breathing, and the latter, in turn, aggravates the situation and contributes to the further development of infection. This vicious chain can be broken through rapid response measures.
The key points in the fight against congestion should be:
- Русский
- relieving inflammation;
- timely removal of mucus;
- reduction of microbial load.
To quickly overcome a runny nose, you need to use products that improve venous outflow, thin secretions, and have an antibacterial effect.
The most effective pharmaceutical products: list
The most effective pharmaceutical drugs are considered complex products, which include mucolytics, vasoconstrictors and antibacterial components. They work on all fronts at once: they thin out secretions, improve sinus drainage, reduce congestion and free the nose from infection.
The list of effective drugs is as follows:
- Русский
- "Rinofluimucil";
- "Vibrocil";
- "Xymelin Extra";
- "Adrianol."
"Rinofluimucil" contains acetylcysteine, which thins sputum and nasal secretions. And thauminoheptane, which is part of the composition, has an anti-inflammatory and anti-edematous effect. The product is in the preferred aerosol form for treating a runny nose. Distributes evenly and provides quick results.
Not recommended for bronchial asthma, heart disease and glaucoma. Approved for the treatment of children over 3 years of age.
"Vibrocil" spray. Two substances, dimethindene and phenylephrine, suppress the activity of the ciliated epithelium, thin mucous secretions, help cleanse the sinuses, and reduce inflammation and pain. The drug has a vasoconstrictor effect. Available in the form of drops, nasal spray and gel.
This remedy acts not only against ordinary rhinitis, but also relieves congestion due to allergies. Not prescribed for patients with degeneration of the nasal mucosa, diabetes and thyroid diseases. Approved for use in children over 2 years of age.
"Xymelin Extra" contains two active ingredients: xylometazoline and ipratropium bromide. At the same time, it inhibits the activity of the ciliated epithelium, does not allow fluid to accumulate inside, dilutes the secretion, promotes its rapid removal, reduces pain and the severity of inflammation.
Nasal spray is contraindicated for children under 2 years of age, pregnant and lactating women, people with high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, tachycardia, and glaucoma.
"Adrianol." Drops with phenylephrine and grimazoline reduce swelling and reduce the viscosity of secretions. They make breathing easier, quickly restore ventilation of the cranial cavities and internal negative pressure.
Not recommended for heart and kidney diseases. Contraindicated for children under 7 years of age.
All vasoconstrictor drugs can be taken without a doctor’s prescription for no longer than 3 days.
Traditional medicine for a runny nose
The most effective measures to combat nasal congestion are rinsing. The liquid should forcefully flow into one nostril and calmly flow out of the other.
You can make a “device” for washing yourself. You need to take a teapot with a long spout. Pull a baby bottle nipple over the hole and insert it into the nostril.
For rinsing, prepare a solution: dilute a teaspoon of sea salt in a glass of boiled, not hot water. To enhance the effect, add a drop of iodine or a quarter teaspoon of soda.
The pacifier is inserted into the nostril. Tilt the kettle so that the liquid flows freely into the nose. The nostrils are washed alternately. The procedure is repeated morning and evening.
In the absence of such a device, you can use a regular syringe without a needle. There is no need to inject the solution heavily. It needs to be poured in slowly so that it also pours out unhindered.
Treating the outer part of the nasal openings with peach oil helps a lot with a runny nose. The product simultaneously reduces inflammation and kills pathogenic bacteria. The passages are carefully lubricated with a cotton swab 3-4 times a day.
Onions and garlic are known for their antibacterial properties. To prepare a remedy for a runny nose, you need to boil half a glass of vegetable oil. Mix it with the juice from half an onion and 3-4 cloves of garlic. The product is infused for 3 hours. Pass through gauze. Treat the nasal passages with a moistened cotton swab 3-4 times a day.
Treatment with traditional methods continues until complete recovery.
Inhalation treatment: fast and effective
Nebulizers are modern inhalers that help deliver medicine to the problem area. They crush the product into tiny particles, which, settling in the respiratory tract, envelop each villi of the mucous epithelium.
For inhalation, special pharmaceutical products are used (for example, based on acetylcysteine). The nebulizer sprays a substance that enters the passages through a special mask. Inhale freely through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Mucolytic components thin out secretions and help quickly eliminate swelling. Inhalation is the most effective method of combating respiratory diseases.
We treat in 1 day
To cure a runny nose in one day, you need to devote all your free time to it. If possible, stay at home, which will help avoid possible hypothermia and additional effects of infection.
To understand how to quickly cure a runny nose, you need to understand the basic principles. They consist of freeing the nose from accumulated secretions, stimulating the production of secretions to quickly remove the infection, using antibacterial drugs and reducing swelling. Procedures must be repeated every 2 hours.
First of all, the nose is rinsed with saline solution. This method removes stagnant mucus. Among other things, salt has an osmotic effect, which is why it can dilute secretions and effectively clear the sinuses.
After removing the mucus, drops based on essential oils of eucalyptus, fir, and tea tree are instilled into the nose. You can prepare them yourself: dissolve two drops of the product in half a glass of warm boiled water.
The passages are instilled with the resulting solution at the rate of 2-3 drops in each nostril. You can lubricate the outside of your nose with undiluted essential oil, near each passage, carefully, without affecting the mucous membrane.
To enhance the therapeutic effect, after rinsing the nose twice a day, it is recommended to do inhalations using a nebulizer and a medicine (for example, acetylcysteine in the form of a solution).
Pour the liquid into a wide container. Lean over her. Wrap yourself in a blanket on top. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. And so on until the liquid cools down. You should know that inhalation of hot steam is contraindicated at elevated temperatures.
Help with illness during pregnancy
Some vasoconstrictors are contraindicated during pregnancy. Women in special conditions are sometimes wary of even officially approved drugs.
As immediate help, salt water rinses are suitable for them, as well as medicinal medications that are unable to be absorbed and enter the systemic bloodstream, for example, Rinofluimucil.
The use of herbal preparations such as Pinosol is possible only on the recommendation of a doctor. Natural products may contain oils from coniferous plants, some of which negatively affect fetal development.
Effective remedies for runny nose for children and infants
Most “adult” drugs are approved for use in children from 2 or 3 years of age. But what if the child has not reached this age?
The main goal in treating infants is to clear the nasal passages. Nasal congestion prevents the child from eating and sleeping normally. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to clear the airways of mucus.
For these purposes, use “Aquamaris” or “Quix” based on sea water. The products quickly dilute the secretions and help clear out mucus and dried secretions. Flushes out bacteria and reduces swelling.
Children over two years old can irrigate their nose with Vibrocil or Xymelin. The herbal “Pinosol” is suitable as a natural preparation.
Preventive actions
To prevent a runny nose during the period of rampant respiratory infections, you must first avoid hypothermia. In such situations, the immune system experiences severe stress, as a result of which it malfunctions.
If you often have to come into contact with sick people or visit crowded places, treat your nose with Fleming's ointment as a preventive measure before leaving home. This will help reduce the bacterial load on the mucous membrane.
Upon returning home, you should rinse your nose with salted or sea water. The measure will help wash away accumulated bacteria and prevent them from penetrating deep into the mucous membrane.
Remember that a runny nose is easier to prevent than to treat. But if a problem is on the doorstep, you need to immediately put all your efforts into fighting it.

A runny nose is a pressing problem in our family, and we haven’t gone through anything and haven’t tried anything to treat it. From your article I discovered a secret - I didn’t know that it was really possible to do inhalations and that they would be effective. I always do inhalations with a nebulizer when there is a strong cough and it helps me and my son, but when I have a runny nose I try not to do anything at all. To be honest, I haven’t heard about Aquamaris, but since the maternity hospital we have been using Humer and recently prescribed Nasol as an alternative to my husband. The drugs are identical, the same salted water, the only difference is the price. Humer costs about 200 UAH, and Nasol costs pennies up to 30 UAH, the effect is the same.
After all these waters, my little son (we are 2.2) had his nose dripped with regular saline solution (recommended by the pediatrician), but I began to notice that if I don’t drip anything, it goes away within 3-5 days, and if I drip, the runny nose lasts for up to 2.5 weeks.
I would like to slightly correct the information on rinsing the nose: you should not drip it, but rinse it, but it’s better not with a teapot, but by closing one nostril, you suck it from the saucer with the other. I’ll say right away - the pain is hellish, it feels like the salt has entered the brain and is quietly walking around there, all the sinuses are cleared and it will hurt, and your ears will shoot so much that you can even lose consciousness! But 2-day similar procedures will restore you overnight)
