What are the correct ways to wash your nose

Rhinitis affects many people, and some people can be said to be troubled by rhinitis for a long time, so we should pay attention to the correct and effective treatment methods. Salt water nasal washing is relatively effective in treating rhinitis, but we must also pay attention to the correct steps and methods. The following will introduce some steps and methods of using salt water nasal washing to treat rhinitis.

1. Washing the nose with saline must be done in two steps. You must first rinse the nasal vestibule separately, and then rinse the deep nasal cavity. You cannot rinse directly from one nostril to another or directly into the deep nasal cavity. This will flush the dirt in the nasal vestibule directly into the deep nasal cavity. The structure of the deep nasal cavity is very complex and it is easy for dirt to accumulate (this is why some people have trouble blowing their noses), and you will flush the dirt that was originally blocked outside into the inside.

2. A simple way to clean the nasal vestibule is to use a small spray bottle filled with saline solution and spray it into the nasal cavity, or to use a cotton swab dipped in saline solution to simply wipe the nasal cavity. These are all simple ways to clean the nasal vestibule.

3. After cleaning the nasal vestibule, you can use a teapot or a syringe with the needle removed, filled with saline solution to clean the deep nasal cavity. At this time, tilt your head back slightly, lean forward, and let the saline flow out of your mouth or the other nasal cavity.

4. For patients with allergic rhinitis, warm saline at about 30 degrees is most suitable. Patients who have undergone nasal surgery should not wash their nose immediately after the surgery. It is okay to wash the nasal cavity after about 30 days. Children under three years old should not try to wash their nose with a syringe. Just use a cotton swab dipped in saline solution to wash their nose.
