Blowing your nose means: hold your nose and expel your nose with air. According to relevant research, people who are used to blowing their nose blow their nose an average of 45 times a day in the three days before catching a cold. According to the above experimental findings, if blowing your nose will make your condition worse, maybe you should get rid of the bad habit of blowing your nose.
1. First of all, you should prepare a tool, such as toilet paper (or handkerchief, the same below), to avoid blowing your nose polluting the environment or your own clothes.
2. Cover the nose with toilet paper, press and close one nose eye (medically called anterior nostril, the same below) to prevent air leakage. At the same time, keep the other nose blowing eye unobstructed.
3. Stretch your head forward, inhale and blow your nose. The direction of force should be forward and downward, and should not be too large.
4. Press the other nose eye with toilet paper, and then repeat the above action.
You know what?
The nose is connected with the tympanic chamber of the middle ear. The middle ear is connected with the nasal cavity through the eustachian tube. The eustachian tube is generally closed, so that the secretion of the nasopharynx will not flow back into the ear. When you yawn or blow your nose, you can only breathe hard for a while. If you don't blow your nose well, you can blow your nose down to the middle ear, causing inflammation of the middle ear and even perforation of the tympanic membrane.
1. Do not squeeze your nostrils tightly with your hands and squeeze your nose out of the flattened nasal slit. When the blowing pressure is greater than that in the sinus or middle ear, your nose will retrograde into the sinus or middle ear.
2. When blowing your nose, use your fingers to press and hold one side of your nostril for luck. The pressure should not be too high. After blowing one side, blow the other side.
3. When the nose is too thick and difficult to blow out, you can first drop some ephedrine nasal drops that can constrict blood vessels to make the nasal tract wider and the nose easy to blow out.
4. The pressure when blowing your nose should be based on the principle of not making sudden noise and sudden blockage in your ears.
5. If necessary, you can blow your nose repeatedly, but if you haven't solved the problem more than three times, you should first think about the cause and seek the help of a doctor if necessary.
The specific method of blowing your nose may not stick to one pattern. For your own health, but some wrong practices must be avoided. It is very necessary to use the correct method of blowing your nose.
