Nasal Packing Devices are proving to be efficient in the treatment of nasal congestion and nasal inflammation
Nasal packing is a plastic apparatus that is placed in the nose to prevent mucus and other irritants from entering the nose. This prevents nasal inflammation, snoring, and allergic reactions. It also reduces and lessens the feeling of congestion. These are usually filled with saline solutions. Nasal packing has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration as an aid for congestion relief.
Nasal packing can be described as one of the simplest and most convenient ways of treating and reducing congestion. However, there are a number of different types of nasal packing devices available in the market today. Nasal packing should only be used after consulting a physician. Nasal packing may not be recommended for children and those affected by allergies. Some nasal packing devices are available at pharmacies and come as nasal sprays, nasal cushions, pills, and syrups. Nasal pills are useful if you suffer from allergies and have sensitive skin. Nasal cushions and syrups are useful if you regularly suffer from sinus congestion or colds. A nasal pillow is another useful device used in the treatment of sinusitis and as a remedy for post nasal drip.
Nasal packing devices such as nasal strips, nasal cushions, and gauze can be used for temporary relief from congestion. Throat drops are another alternative for those who find it difficult to breathe. Throat drops are inserted into your nostrils and taken in through the throat. This helps improve the functioning of the lung and decreases the production of mucus. These nasal packing devices should be used for short periods of time as they may cause side effects. A nasal spray normally serves as an insecticide, decongestant, and anti-inflammatory agent. When the nasal packing devices are being used, the spray is generally thick enough to block all the air pathways leading to the nose. Recently, in July 2019, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first nasal glucagon power for severe hypoglycemia.
