Blowing our nose feels like second nature as the winter bugs sweep the country - but it could be causing more harm than good.
The article from the Daily Record discusses a common nose-blowing technique that could potentially lead to health issues. It explains that blowing your nose too hard can force mucus into the sinuses, potentially causing infections or worsening conditions like sinusitis. The piece highlights that while blowing your nose is a natural response to clear congestion, the method used can make a significant difference. Instead of blowing both nostrils simultaneously with force, experts suggest blowing gently one nostril at a time to minimize the risk of pushing mucus into the sinuses or Eustachian tubes, which could lead to ear infections or other complications. The article also provides tips on alternative methods to manage nasal congestion, like using saline sprays or steam inhalation, to avoid the adverse effects of improper nose blowing.
