First , it should be kept vertically. If the spray is compressed obliquely or horizontally, an effective puff will not come out of it.
Second , the medicine should be sprayed directly parallel to the outer wall of the inside of the nose because the most nasal congestion is located in its alignment.
These sprays may be of steroid or antihistamine type, which should be used in the same way.
Corten spray should not be used in the middle part, close to the cartilaginous wall between the two noses (septum), because this area has poor blood supply and its vessels are narrowed due to contact with the steroid, which itself causes dryness and eventually nosebleeds.
After using the nasal spray, the person should move his head back a little and breathe out slowly and use the other side in the same way.
This makes the spray reach the upper areas of the nose.
If the patient uses an antihistamine nasal spray such as Azelastani, it is better to lower his head slightly towards the room floor for 10 seconds and there is no need to take a deep breath after that.
After we raise our head and feel that the drug has entered the nose, we do the same thing on the other side.
This method makes the patient feel the bitter taste of azelastine less.
