Nasal drops are the most common and simple treatment method. If the posture of the drops is not correct, the medicine will flow into the throat, which will not only fail to play a proper therapeutic role, but will also make the patient feel disgusted. The patient will lose confidence in this simple and easy to use treatment method. On the contrary, mastering the correct method of dropping medicine will not make the medicine flow into the mouth and produce discomfort.
The correct method is: first of all, excessive secretions in the nasal cavity should be gently blown out, so that the medicine will be in full contact with the mucous membrane of the nasal cavity during the drops, and the secretions will not dilute the medicine to reduce its effectiveness. Secondly, when dropping the medicine, we should adopt a position where the nose is lower than the mouth, so that the patient lies on his back in bed, so that his shoulders are flush with the edge of the bed and his head hangs under the edge of the bed, so that the nasal cavity is lower than the oropharynx, and the medicine will not flow into the oropharynx and cause discomfort when dropping the medicine. However, it must be noted that patients with hypertension and cervical spondylosis cannot adopt such a position, but can be changed to a semi-recumbent position, with the head inverted to the left when giving the right nasal drip, and to the left when giving the left drip. After dropping the medicine, you should keep the position when dropping the medicine and lie down for 1-2 minutes to make the medicine take full effect. Then sit up slowly to avoid dizziness due to prolonged head suspension.
This method is suitable for colds, chronic simple rhinitis, allergic rhinitis, acute and chronic sinusitis, rhinorrhea and postoperative care of the nasal cavity and sinuses.
