How do nasal decongestants work?

How does it make it seem as though your nose isn’t stuffy anymore? How come I can breathe through one nostril and not the other when I’m congested? How does fixing your positioning (I.e.) putting your head higher help with congestion? 🙂 ur welcome for my 18273729101 questions & ty for ur answers 🙂

When you’re congested, the capillaries in your nose are constricted. Decongestants simply open the capillaries.

When your nose is running, you can take a congestant which will constrict the capillaries.
