How Do You Apply Nose Cream?

Published in Nose Care 2 mins read

To apply nose cream, use a small amount and gently insert it into your nostrils, avoiding excessive depth.

Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Prepare: Wash your hands thoroughly before starting.

  2. Dispense the Cream: Squeeze a pea-sized amount of the nose cream or ointment onto the tip of your clean little finger. Alternatively, prepare the nozzle of the tube, if using that method.

  3. Application:

    • Finger Method: Gently apply the cream just inside each nostril at the front. Avoid inserting your finger more than 1 cm (approximately 0.4 inches) into the nostril.
    • Tube Method: Gently insert the nozzle of the tube into the nostril and squeeze out a pea-sized amount of cream.
  4. Distribution: Gently massage the cream within the nostril to distribute it evenly.

  5. Clean Up: Wash your hands again after application.

Important Considerations:

  • Dosage: Always follow the instructions provided with your specific nose cream. Don't use more than directed.
  • Frequency: Apply as directed, typically once or twice daily, or as needed.
  • Hygiene: Use a clean finger or applicator for each nostril to prevent cross-contamination.
  • Avoid Sharing: Do not share your nose cream with others.
  • Consult a Doctor: If you experience irritation or your symptoms worsen, consult a doctor.
