Nasal wash with saline solution

Rhinitis is a very common disease in our lives, among which allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinitis are also very common. These diseases bring great troubles to patients, and allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinitis recur frequently. Therefore, many people want to know how to treat these diseases. In fact, you can use normal saline to wash your nose to treat these diseases.

Many people are tortured by rhinitis, so is there a simple and effective way to treat rhinitis? In fact, normal saline nasal irrigation has a good therapeutic effect on rhinitis. Saline nasal irrigation therapy is to use appropriate tools and normal saline to thoroughly rinse the nasal cavity, remove allergens, bacteria, inflammatory secretions and other dirt in the nasal cavity, reduce nasal mucosal edema, and restore the nasal cavity's own detoxification function, thereby eliminating the symptoms of rhinitis. This method has a good effect on allergic rhinitis, chronic rhinitis and chronic sinusitis. However, for organic lesions such as nasal polyps and nasal septum deviation, it can not only relieve symptoms to a certain extent before surgery, but also effectively prevent recurrence after surgery. Nasal irrigation with saline to treat rhinitis is a new rhinitis treatment method that has been highly praised in Europe and the United States in recent years.

The first thing to confirm when washing your nose with salt water is the concentration of the salt water, which is the primary condition of the salt water nasal washing method. Patients with rhinitis with different symptoms should choose to use saline of different concentrations to wash their noses according to their symptoms. There are two types of saline concentrations generally used for washing the nose with saline: isotonic saline and hypertonic saline, which are commonly referred to as 0.9% saline and high-concentration saline.

Generally, high-concentration brine refers to brine with a concentration of 2% or 3%. It is recommended that you buy injectable saline solution to wash your nose, because it is clean and has the right concentration. A concentration of 0.9% normal saline is most suitable for the ciliary movement of the nasal mucosal epithelium (normal ciliary movement is an important sign of normal nasal self-cleaning function). Too high a concentration will harm the movement of nasal cilia.

Generally speaking, using saline to wash your nose is very comfortable and will not cause any burning sensation, especially for children who find it easy to tolerate. If you mix your own salt water, add 4.5 grams of salt to 500 milliliters of water to get 0.9% salt water. You can choose commercially available pure salt without iodine.

If you are also a rhinitis patient who is troubled by this recurring disease, you might as well try the method of nasal washing with normal saline. We should pay enough attention to the disease of rhinitis. If rhinitis is not treated in time, it will lead to more serious consequences such as breathing disorders.
