3. Rinse your nose frequently with cold water.

6. Eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A, B2, C, etc.

7. Pay attention to improving the air humidity in the room.

If your home is too dry, you can put a basin of water in the room or buy an air humidifier to increase the humidity of the air in the room. In addition, you can also get a hygrometer to observe the air conditions in the room at any time.

Also, don't pick your nose when it's dry. The nasal mucosa is covered with a ciliary mucus system that is invisible to the naked eye. They are the cleaners of the nasal cavity. These tissues grow from the back of the nasal cavity to the front of the nasal cavity and can block dust. Nasal crusts are formed by the deposition of inhaled substances. This cleaning cycle takes 15 minutes and can basically expel all the dirt inhaled into the nasal cavity.

Therefore, picking your nose with your fingers is a very bad habit, because this rough action will damage the ciliary mucus system of the nose and destroy the self-cleaning function of the nose. The correct way is to take a sterilized cotton swab, dip it in saline solution, and gently remove the nasal crust from the inside out.

In addition, the human nasal mucosa is constantly secreting mucus to moisten the nasal membrane, moisten the inhaled air, and stick to the dust, fine dust and microorganisms inhaled from the air. The product of this process is snot. So for the same reason, you should not blow your nose too roughly. The correct way is: stand up, lean your head forward, cover your nose with a tissue, blow hard, and then wipe your nose clean with the tissue.
