Normal saline for nasal washing

Normal saline is the 0.9% sodium chloride injection that we usually use to hang bottles. Bottled saline is a prescription, which can be bought in pharmacies, clinics or community hospitals where prescriptions can be made. Of course, the self-made physiological saline can also be used completely, but it should be prepared with non-iodized salt or nasal washing salt. The ratio of 0.9% concentration is to add 4.5 grams of nasal washing salt or non-iodized salt to 500 ml of water.

Normal saline can also be prepared with boiling water, and the concentration should be 0.9%.

The most important point of saline nasal washing is that saline nasal washing must be divided into two steps, first washing the nasal vestibule alone and then washing the deep nasal cavity. You can't rinse directly from one nostril to another nostril or directly to the depths of the nasal cavity, which will flush the dirty things in the vestibule directly to the depths of the nasal cavity. The deep structure of the nasal cavity is very complicated, and it is easy to accumulate dirty things (which is also the reason why some people can't blow out their noses). You will rush in the dirty things blocked from the outside.

Therefore, we should also pay attention to this point when choosing the tool of nasal lavage with normal saline. It is absolutely not advisable to simply enter from one nostril and exit from the other nostril without distinguishing the two steps of nasal lavage with normal saline.

In addition: saline nasal lavage tools and nasal lavage devices, whether simple or complex, such as electric ones, must have the second-class medical device number before they can be sold in the market and used safely.

So keep your eyes open when choosing specific products to avoid being cheated.
