Posted on October 26, 2022 By

Dr. Greg Abbas of Advanced ENT and Allergy discusses the proper technique for the use of nasal spray.

We can go ahead and show some proper techniques when you’re prescribed a nasal spray it could be any one of the sprays there’s several out there but the proper technique is when you get the bottle that you prime it first some bottles actually are inhaled actually are a metered dose inhaler so you prime it it’s like a it’s a puff that comes out and so that those

Are some that can be using those this is a liquid based product some you have to shake some you don’t so it usually tell it recommends that you shake this particular one and it’s a flonase based product and you prime it basically you push down on it to get the mist first so that you know that there’s going to be medication in there okay and a proper way to to

To spray this in is to put your head down like this pull your nostril out with one hand so my left nostril i’m going to spray with my right hand but i’m pulling my nostril out with my left finger okay now one mistake that many people make is that when they spray it they snort it in and so when you spray it and snort it guess where it’s going to go it’s going to

Go into your throat mediately and you’re going to taste it and you’re not going to like it and it’s not going to be as effective because it’s not staying where it needs to stay okay so when you spray it you don’t inhale you let the medication go in the nose and then if you need to sniff back a little bit so it doesn’t drip out the front then you do it after you

Put the spray in okay so once again you might need to sniff a little bit to keep the medication up in the nose proper angle is up and slightly out so it’s almost towards the corner of your eye where you’re trying to get where you’re trying to get that angle okay now i see a lot of people use use the right hand to spray both sides and so what happens is that if

You’re right-handed the angles perfect for spraying your left side it’s not perfect for spraying your right side what happens is that you end up spraying right onto the wall that septum which we talked about earlier the wall that divides the left and the right side of your nose and if the spray collects there it tends to cause an irritation it can cause bleeding

So that’s where we get into bleeding issues with some of these medications the proper technique for spraying the right side is head down you pull out with your right you pull your right nostril with your right finger and you spray just the opposite with your left hand and you might need to sniff again after you put the spray in sniffs lightly keep the medication

In the nose okay so that’s the proper way of using a nasal by using a nasal spray
