In addition to the necessary systemic medication, the majority of nasal diseases also require local medication, especially in children, who should master scientific and correct methods of operation for local nasal medication.
Before using the nasal drops, you should prepare well. First of all, warm up the medicine bottle in your hand or body; then blow your nose as clean as possible and take out the boogers before applying the drops. There are two correct methods of nasal drops: one is the head-back position drops method: the patient lies on his back on the bed with a soft pillow under his shoulder, tilts his head back as far as possible so that his chin faces the sky, then drops the medicine, after dropping the medicine, gently pinches the nose several times so that the medicine is evenly distributed in the nasal cavity.
After dropping the medicine, keep the original position unchanged and get up again after 5 to 10 minutes so that the medicine will be fully in contact with the nasal mucosa and fully absorbed. This supine method is suitable for rhinitis and sinusitis, and also for patients with acute otitis media, so that the medicine can enter the opening of the posterior pharyngeal tube of the nasal cavity. The second is the head low lateral drip method: the patient lies on his side, goes to the pillow, the affected side of the ear against the bed, the head hangs down toward the shoulder, the nose turns to the direction of the upper shoulder, keeps the same plane with the shoulder, makes the side wall of the nasal cavity into a horizontal slightly oblique to the root of the nose, drops into the drug for 5-10 minutes and then sit up. This can make the medicine stay in the nasal cavity for a longer time and reduce the flow of medicine to the throat to avoid irritation.
There are several points that need special attention: 1. You should not rely on nasal drops for a long time to improve nasal symptoms without permission, because long-term use of nasal vasoconstrictors can lead to drug rhinitis.
2. When several drugs are needed at the same time, nasal constrictor drops should be used first, followed by intermittent drops of anti-inflammatory drugs.
3, nasal bleeding after nasal trauma, do not just use nasal drops to stop the bleeding, because some nasal trauma patients nasal drops can cause intracranial infection, leading to serious complications. When using nasal cream, the cream should be applied directly to the nasal septum or nasal wing through the nostril, and then press the nasal wing several times to expand the area covered by the cream. Apply the medicine 1 to 2 times a day.
4.When dripping medicine into the nose, do not touch the tip of the dropper of the medicine bottle to avoid contamination of the medicine.
5.Before using the nasal spray for the first time, press the starter repeatedly to start the exhaust pump until a uniform fine aerosol is released. Shake the bottle well before each use; in the use of nasal spray, head or tilt back about 30 degrees; the nozzle correctly into the nasal cavity, the nozzle slightly toward the outside of the nasal cavity, but try to avoid contact with the nasal mucosa; because nose spray occasionally damage the mucosa and cause nasal bleeding, press the sprayer hard while doing inhalation, generally 1 to 3 sprays per side. After spraying, gently inhale through the nose 2 to 3 times, so that the liquid reaches the deep nasal cavity as far as possible to give full effect.
