If you have rosacea, very sensitive skin, or a facial skin infection , skip it or use lower heat. For persistent stuffiness lasting >10 days with facial pain/fever, see a doctor.

A hot compress won’t clear your nose like a decongestant spray, but it’s excellent for reducing sinus pressure and pain that comes with a stuffy nose. It helps loosen mucus indirectly by warming the nasal passages and improving blood flow.
