Question 1

I've been using nasal drops for around 10 years now because I can't seem to breathe through my nose properly. I'm starting to worry if this is really bad for me. Should I be concerned about how long Ive been using them? Is there anything else I can do to help with my breathing?

Accepted Answer

start steam inhalation

Question 2

I'm kind of worried because I had a cold and in a rush, I accidentally put Iodex in my nose. I quickly realized it was a mistake and washed it out with soap and water, but then my nose started bleeding a bit. Is this a serious issue, or should I be okay since the bleeding stopped quickly?

Accepted Answer

No need to nothing serious complication would happen,but do not repeat it as you say you had one episode of bleeding,visit ENT doctor for evaluation

Question 3

I'm wondering if it's okay to keep inhaling steam for like, several months, doing it morning and evening for about 10 minutes each time. I've been doing this since October because my ENT doctor suggested it for a sore throat and blocked nose, along with some meds. Sometimes I still wake up with a blocked nose, so I've continued with the steam. And honestly, I also think it might help with things considering the pandemic stuff, even though I'm all good now after having COVID during the 2nd wave. Is it safe to keep doing this for a really long time, say 6 to 7 months?

Accepted Answer

Don't steam longer than 10 to 15 minutes for each session. However, you can repeat steam inhalation two or three times per day if you're still having symptoms.
