Device and method for controlling nasal exudation

An inflatable device for insertion into a user's nose for controlling nasal exudation, the device comprising:

• an elongated shaft including at least one lumen accommodating a liquid;
• an inflatable balloon distally connected to the shaft, the balloon being in fluid connection to the lumen;
• and
• an absorber configured for absorbing nasal exudates, the absorber being disposed at an outer circumference of the shaft;
• wherein the balloon is configured to seal the nostrils when inflated, wherein the balloon contains a cooling agent soluble in the liquid, whereby the cooling agent is configured to cool the balloon upon coming into contact with and dissolving in the liquid.

A device for insertion into a user's nose for controlling nasal exudation, the device comprising:

• a body section configured to hold and to supply a liquid, and to support an absorber;
• and
• a balloon section connected to the body portion such that to be inserted first in a user's nose, the balloon section being configured to receive the liquid from the body portion, and housing a balloon that expands upon receiving the liquid thereby sealing the user's nose,
• wherein the absorber surrounds the body section in a portion of the body section adjacent to the balloon section,
• wherein the absorber is partially disposed between a lumen of the body section, the lumen being configured to hold the liquid, and an outer wall of the body section, the outer wall having at least a transparent portion with a scale that remains visible when the device is inserted in the user's nose, thereby enabling to monitor an amount of nasal exudation accumulated in the absorber.
