Nasal drops are the most common and simplest treatment in rhinology. If the drops are improperly applied, the medicine will often flow into the pharynx and irritate the throat, causing nausea and other throat discomfort. Mastering the correct nasal drip method will not only prevent the medicine from flowing into the throat, but also achieve the therapeutic effect.
The correct nasal drip method should be: 1, the patient lies on his back on the bed, head backward, hanging under the edge of the bed, so that the nose is lower than the position of the mouth and throat; or lie on his back and fill the shoulder under the high, so that the nose reaches the above position, take the above position, the medicine will not flow into the throat and cause nausea and other throat discomfort.
2, hypertensive patients should avoid the above position and switch to semi-recumbent position. When dropping into the right side of the nasal cavity, the head should fall towards the right shoulder, and vice versa, when dropping into the left side of the nasal cavity, the head should fall towards the left shoulder.
3.After dropping the medicine into the nasal cavity, the patient should lie down for 3-5 minutes so that the medicine stays in contact with the nasal mucosa for a period of time, and then sit up so that the excess medicine flows out from the front nostril.
4.If there is too much nasal secretion, you should gently blow out or pump to the back nostril 10 minutes after the first drop in order to discharge the nasal secretion, and then drip the nose as above, so that the effect will be better.
5. 2 to 3 drops of medicine are suitable for each drop. Usually 3 drops a day.
