"Nose drip" is a colloquial term often used interchangeably with nasal spray, which is a medication dispensed as a fine mist into the nasal passages.
Here's how to use a nasal spray:
- Gently blow your nose to clear it of mucus before using the medicine.
- Remove the cap from the nasal spray bottle.
- Tilt your head forward slightly. This helps the medication reach the back of your nasal passages.
- Hold the pump bottle with your thumb at the bottom and your index and middle fingers on top.
- Squeeze the pump as you begin to breathe in slowly through your nose.
It's important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist for the specific nasal spray you are using.
