how to apply nasal drops?


Blow your nose gently.
Drop the required number of drops into each nostril.
The aim is to get the liquid to spread over all the inside surface of the nose - including the upper surface.
A good position is to lie on a bed with your head hanging back over the edge. Stay like this for two minutes after putting in the drops before getting up. This is so that the liquid does not immediately run out of your nose or down the back of your throat but stays for a while in the nasal cavity.
Kneeling or bending forwards is an alternative, but it is harder to stay like this for two minutes after putting in the drops.
Replace the top on the bottle after using.
Wash your hands after using the drops.



How do you put saline drops in baby nose?


Lie baby flat on his/her back and carefully tilt their head back. Hold the bottle upside down and gently squeeze 1 to 3 drops into each nostril. Hold your baby in this position for 1 to 2 minutes to give FESS® Little Noses® Saline Nasal Drops time to thin the mucus.
