Abstract: An inflatable device for insertion into a user's nose for controlling nasal exudation has an elongated shaft including at least one lumen for accommodating a fluid (15); an inflatable balloon (25) connected to the shaft, the balloon (25) being in fluid connection to the lumen; and an absorber (19, 33) for absorbing nasal exudates, the absorber (19, 33) being disposed at an outer circumference of the shaft and/or at a distal tip portion (9) of the device. Another inflatable device for insertion into a user's nose for controlling nasal exudation has an elongated shaft including at least one lumen for accommodating a fluid (15); and an inflatable balloon (25) connected to the shaft, the balloon (25) being in fluid connection to the lumen; the balloon (25) containing a cooling agent (29), wherein the cooling agent (29) is configured to cool the balloon (25) when coming into contact with the fluid (15).
