How to treat dry stuffiness in nose while having hypertrophic vasomotor (allergic) rhinitis? (allergic)

Hello
How to treat dry stuffiness in nose while having hypertrophic
vasomotor (allergic) rhinitis? The dry stuffiness increases on a side
which I lie on.

Steroid nasal sprays (Nasonex or Flonase) should help.

Also avoid allergens (dust, mold) as much as possible.

I thought vasomotor rhinitis is a non-allergic reaction. That
is to say, the reaction can't be traced to an allergen. And,
of course, allergic rhinitis is a result of allergen(s). So,
I'm not sure what "vasomotor (allergic) rhinitis" is? Could
you elaborate?

You are correct but it makes little difference because the same things work to
treat boith kinds of reaction (allergic and non-allergic vasomotor).

My nose swells becase of cold (vasomotor) and becase of dust and fresh
green in a field (allergy).

Thanks.
Are the Steroid nasal sprays (Nasonex or Flonase) against allergy or hypertrophy?

They should help with any inflammation: "drugs indicated for nonallergic as
well as allergic rhinitis are nasal steroids (like Flonase, Nasonex), Astelin
and Atrovent."

Hypertrophy just means that the turbinates are too large (for any reason),

Thanks.
I have more discomfort from dry stuffiness in my nose because of the
hypertrophy. I don't have itch in my nose or sneezing.

Well if they are enlarged and stay enlarged you may eventually have to consider
surgery if you start getting sinusitis due to the air blockage.

But it is worth trying to get them down by other means first. AIr quality can
make a huge difference if you can eliminate irritants and allergens.

What are the other means?
I don't have the irritants and allergens usually.
