Saline nose washing method:
Preparation materials:
The concentration of physiological saline used for nasal washing is too low, which may not be effective, and too high concentration will cause harm to nasal cilia. It is best to choose 0.9% normal saline injection, because it is not only hygienic and safe, but also has the right concentration.
Salt water heating:
Allergic rhinitis is very sensitive to cold and temperature changes, and if cold water is used, the symptoms will be aggravated. Therefore, it is best to warm the normal saline before washing the nose to reduce the stimulation of temperature difference to the nasal cavity, and the effect will be better.
Wash your nose with a cotton ball;
Dip a cotton ball in the prepared salt water and stuff it into your nostrils. At this point, tilt your head or lie flat, press both sides of your nose with your index finger and thumb and suck hard, so that the saturated saline on the cotton ball flows into your nose and reaches your throat.
At first, you can feel a pungent smell in your nose, which can be relieved after several adaptations.
