Hello, You may soak a towel in hot water at 70°C, fold it once or twice, and apply it to your nose until it cools down. This procedure can be repeated 2–3 times. Next, use the pad of either your left or right index finger to pick up a small pinch of salt, and gently cleanse both sides of your nostrils for 3–5 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with clean water afterward. This method may help alleviate symptoms. Alternatively, you may add white vinegar to clean water, stir well, and use the solution—after cooling—to rinse your nasal passages; this helps disinfect the area. We hope this information is helpful. Wishing you good health!
