If the symptoms of nasal congestion are not too severe, you can use steaming methods, apply a hot towel, or massage acupoints, such as the temples and the Fengchi acupoint.
If the cold symptoms are more severe, then some medications will be necessary. You can use medications for nasal congestion or cold medicines. If the virus invades the nasal cavity, causing congestion and swelling of the mucous membrane, and resulting inflammation, some anti-inflammatory medications can be used. Drink more warm water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. You can take some traditional Chinese medicine to treat the cold. If there is also fever and thick nasal discharge, some antiviral medications should be taken for treatment.
