They say they are experiencing symptoms such as difficulty breathing and nosebleeds.
In particular, the nasal function of the elderly and children is weaker, so they may experience more nasal dryness.
The symptoms of nasal congestion are not limited to just a dry nose causing discomfort, but also include other factors.
Because it can cause other nose-related conditions, caution is necessary.
So, how can we prevent and improve nasal dryness?
I believe that maintaining indoor humidity is the most important thing.
Using a humidifier or employing other methods to maintain and increase humidity levels.
If you also drink enough fluids and avoid touching your nose and it remains dry, you can apply ointment or spray mist.
I also spray saline solution purchased at the pharmacy during the changing seasons when my nose becomes dry.
This is a product that babies can use.
You can purchase it at the pharmacy if you ask for Comist.
If nasal dryness is severe, I naturally recommend that you seek otolaryngology (ENT) consultation.
