Saline nasal washing method: prepare saline water (put two spoonfuls of salt in a 100 ml bottle and dilute it with boiling water), roll cotton balls with toothpicks and dip them in saline water to wash the nostrils, and then temporarily leave cotton wool in the nostrils. At this time, press both sides of the nose with the index finger and thumb, and suck hard, so that the saline soaked in the cotton ball flows into the nasal cavity and then into the throat. At first, I felt my nose pungent and unbearable, but I could get used to it after several times. I can also wash it with relatively light salt water, gradually thicken it, and let my nose adapt slowly. Insist on washing your nose once in the morning and once in the evening. After more than a month, your nasal cavity is clear and your sense of smell is sensitive, and your rhinitis for many years can be cured.

Precautions:

1. Salt should be pure salt without iodine, and water should be pure water or distilled water.

2, if the nasal mucosa edema is serious, you can use 2%-3% high concentration saline. After washing with high concentration physiological saline, the liquid in the edema nasal mucosa can quickly ooze out, which can eliminate edema and relieve nasal congestion. However, nasal irrigation with high concentration of normal saline usually lasts no more than 7 days. Also, people with no stuffy nose, dry nose and nosebleeds should not use high-concentration physiological saline.

In the cold season, it is best to heat the water before washing your nose with salt water. The water temperature is similar to the body temperature, and the effect will be better. This is especially important for patients with allergic rhinitis, because many patients are very sensitive to temperature changes, and if cold water is used, symptoms will be induced.
