Simple Nose Care Tips

By Teresa Port


The nose is as vital as any part of the body. Its essential role is backed by its two major purposes.

A person's ability to smell is possible through the main olfactory organ, the nose. Your nose is your avenue for smelling. This ability to smell enables you to enjoy a better quality of life and enables you to acknowledge imminent danger. Imagine if you lacked that powerful sense of smell: Will you enjoy eating without smelling the aroma of good food? Will you sense that something is burning in your home? Certainly not!

Before air goes to the lungs, it passes through the nose first. The nose serves as an airway that filers and cleans the air before it goes to your lungs.

To avoid the horrendous experience of losing your sense of smell, you need to care for your nose. Listed below are great nose care pointers that can help you maintain a healthy nose:

Be gentle with your nose. Refrain from picking your nose or blowing it hard. The appropriate way to remove mucus or crusts is to wipe the inside of your nose with cotton swabs, preferably soaked in saline solution. Avoid poking beyond the inside rim of your nasal structure. If you want to avoid dry skin on your nose, apply lotion onto the preferred areas that you want to moisturise.

Clean your home so your nose is not frequently exposed to allergens and irritants. A filthy home is a breeding ground for pollen, dust dust mites and all other irritants that can cause nasal congestion and sinus inflammation.

Get in touch with an ENT Singapore specialist. An ENT doctor can help you understand the importance of having healthy nasal structures. Armed with extensive knowledge in the treatment of ENT diseases, these medical authorities ensure that your nose is as healthy as you want it to be.
