"How to Properly Use Nasal Spray for Congestion Relief"

[newcollectio]

Nasal spray is an effective remedy for relieving nasal congestion due to allergies, colds, or sinus issues. Follow these steps for how to use nasal spray:

1. Preparation: Start by reading the instructions on the nasal spray bottle for any specific guidance.
   
2. Wash Hands: Clean your hands with soap and water to ensure they're free from germs.
   
3. Blow Your Nose: Before applying the nasal spray, blow your nose gently to remove any mucus.
   
4. Tilt Head Forward: Tilt your head slightly forward, as this helps the spray reach the nasal passages more effectively.
   
5. Close One Nostril: With one nostril closed, gently insert the spray nozzle into the other nostril.
   
6. Breathe: Inhale slowly and gently as you squeeze the spray pump to release the medication. Do not tilt your head back or inhale forcefully.
   
7. Repeat for the Other Nostril: Follow the same process for the other nostril if necessary.
   
8. Avoid Sniffling: After using the nasal spray, avoid sniffing or blowing your nose for a few minutes to allow the medication to work.
   
9. Clean the Nozzle: If instructed, clean the nozzle with a tissue or cloth after use.
   

Remember not to exceed the recommended dosage and frequency. If you're uncertain about how to use a specific nasal spray, consult your healthcare provider for guidance. Proper usage can provide effective relief from nasal congestion.
