First of all, you need to make sure that if you have intermittent nasal congestion, it means that the nasal mucosa is edema and congestion. As long as the mucosal edema is eliminated, the nasal congestion will be improved. If you feel that your nose is stuffy 24 hours a day for a long time, it means you need to consider organic lesions such as nasal polyps or turbinate hypertrophy.

It is recommended that you wash your nose with saline, physiological saline is sufficient. You can wash your nose yourself or use a neti pot.

This method is very safe, has no side effects, and is slower to take effect than drugs. However, for rhinitis without turbinate hypertrophy and nasal polyps, insisting on nasal washing will have good results.

The most important point about saline nasal irrigation is that saline nasal irrigation must be carried out in two steps. You must first flush the nasal vestibule separately, rinse the nasal vestibule and then flush the deep layers of the nasal cavity. You cannot flush directly from one nostril to the other or directly into the deep part of the nasal cavity. The dirt in the nasal vestibule will be flushed directly into the deep part of the nasal cavity. The structure of the deep nasal cavity is very complex and easy to accumulate dirt (this is why some people have nasal discharge. (the reason for not coming out), you rushed inside the dirty things that were originally blocked outside.

So you should also pay attention to this when choosing a saline nasal rinse tool. The nasal rinse does not distinguish the two steps of saline nasal rinse, but simply goes in from one nostril and out from the other. Absolutely undesirable.

Another: Nasal irrigation tools with salt water, whether they are simple or complex, such as electric ones, must have a Class II medical device number if they are to be sold on the market, so that they can be used with confidence. .

So you should keep your eyes open when choosing specific products to avoid being deceived.
