H2｜Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Q: Can nasal congestion be improved naturally?
A: Yes. Most nasal congestion can be improved with warm compresses, saline rinses, proper humidity control and physical aids. Surgery is only needed for structural problems.
Q: Why is nasal congestion especially bad when sleeping at night?
A: When you lie flat, blood flows back and causes the nasal lining to become congested and swollen — this is a common cause. Try raising your pillow or using a nasal support device to ease the symptoms.
Q: What should I know before wearing Gnasal?
A: Choose the right size according to the instructions and keep it clean. When using it for the first time, wear it for a short time, and stop immediately and consult a doctor if you feel discomfort or pain. Do not use it if you are allergic to metal or silicone.
