In real life, many people have rhinitis. It's easy to get sick when the seasons change. In fact, you can try to wash your nose with salt water. It's said that the effect is good! Using warm physiological salt water to wash your nose has a good effect on rhinitis. If you have rhinitis for a long time, you can try to wash your nose with salt water.
The method of nasal washing with salt water is very important. First, choose a good tool, and then master the concentration and temperature of salt water. The specific steps are as follows:
Preparation tool: empty bottle with spray function; 0.9% normal saline;
Specific steps:
1. Heat the normal saline with an electric cup until it feels hot but not hot by hand;
2, then pour overheated saline into the empty bottle of the sprays and screw it up.
3. Spray directly on the nose. Salt water flows through the nasal vestibule (the part exposed outside the head), sinuses and nasal passages around the nasopharynx, and then is discharged from one nostril or from the mouth.
3. Spray four or five times a day, 2-3 times a time. Of course, the more times you use, the better the effect. Spray more every time you use it.
Other methods:
You can also find a small teapot. It's better to have a thin mouth and a straight mouth. Fill the heated salt water in the teapot, align the spout with the nostril and directly plug it on the nostril, tilt the head slightly, and then pour it in. Water usually flows out of another nostril. If salt flows into the mouth, just spit it out gently.
What does saltwater wash the notice of nose have?
1. The concentration of brine: 0.9%
There are two opinions about saline nasal lavage: one is to emphasize 0.9% concentration, the other is to emphasize 3% high concentration. In fact, both can be used, but the scope of application is different.
0.9% is suitable for long-term use, suitable for anyone; 3% is suitable for short-term use, but not for long-term use, in addition, people with dry nose are not suitable for use.
The concentration of 0.9% is isotonic with the cells of the nasal cavity, and the pH value is also neutral. Long term use will not cause any harm to the nasal cavity, but the effect should be slower. The high concentration of 3% is hypertonic. It can reduce inflammation and swelling quickly, but it can't be used for a long time. If you use your nose for a long time, you will be hurt. If you dry your nose, you can't use it.
So for people without dry nose symptoms, they can use high concentration at the beginning, and use 0.9% all the time after symptom relief. Note that the high concentration can not be used for a long time, not more than two weeks.
2. Temperature of brine: about 30 degrees
Only when the temperature and concentration of warm saline are similar to body fluids, can it effectively help the nasal cavity recover to normal physiological environment. Cold water will have an irritant effect on human body, which will lead to ineffective or unsatisfactory effect. So salt water must be heated, don't take risks.
