How to Avoid Nasal Irritation

Now, in this clip, I want to address the issue of sneezing and running nose. Sometimes when your nose is running and you are blowing your nose,you are going to get rashes and inflammation around that area of the face. So, a good thing is to reduce the pain and to lubricate that area is to use some cream and lubricants. Now, here I have a tub of petroleum jelly which is a really good lubricant. And what you do is, I recommend that especially for kids who have a very runny nose and are blowing a lot and sneezing a lot, is to get a q-tip and you dip it into the vaseline. Then you can just...instead of using...because sometimes it is infected in that area when you are doing a lot of sneezing. You just then, wipe it over the external surface where it has the inflammation. Or, if you look at my diagram, you'll see that if you have a very severe cold and flu and a lot of nasal, runny, dripping noses, then...(this is a diagram of the nose, and this is the opening of the nose and the red represents the inflammation). So what you do is, you can reach inside (of course, you have to be very careful) and you can put the lubrication on the q-tip inside, around the nostril area. And if you can reach in a little bit to put it inside, along the surface of the areas where you feel it is inflamed to help to soothe it and to soothe the pain and the irritation from the runny nose and the constant blowing and sneezing. So, this is just one way to help you alleviate or reduce some of the symptoms that you experience when you are having a cold or flu.
