A stuffy nose is inconvenient and uncomfortable and makes it difficult to get through the day and fall asleep. A saline solution or saline nose drops may help combat that stuffiness and congestion. Children can often use nasal drops, while older individuals can try a nasal spray. You may also prepare a saline solution by mixing a cup of distilled or sterilized water with about half teaspoon of salt and using a nasal irrigation method.
