                        I have the puntal plugs and I think they help a bit.  Warm compresses may also help. See your doctor to see if you have  other illnesses that might be the cause of the problem that can be treated.  Use a humidifier in your bedroom at night and try to avoid wind, and direct heat and air conditioning such as in the car.
