The use of nasal decongestants to correction the respiratory and olfactory function of the nose

Abstract

One of the main functions of the nose is respiratory and olfactory. Difficulty in nasal breathing, nasal congestion, nasal discharge can complicate the respiratory and olfactory functions of the nose or make them impossible. Most often the cause is swelling of the mucous. Nasal obstruction and rhinorrhea are the most common symptoms in diseases of the nasal cavity and paranasal sinuses. Of great importance is the use of local vasoconstrictors to eliminate swelling in the nasal cavity and prevent complications associated with auditory tube dysfunction. It is proved that the use of nasal decongestants helps to reduce swelling in the nasal cavity and in the osteomeatal complex. Otrivin Moisturizing formula, Otrivin Menthol, Otrivin Complex and Otrivin Sea are effective and well tolerated means to eliminate swelling in the nasal cavity and reduce nasal discharge and rehabilitation of olfactory function.
