Hello this week's responding to your comments
is all about a runny nose medically known as non-allergic rhinitis we've had a comment from
Becky hey Abraham please please please make a video on how to get rid of a runny nose but what
we're waiting for let's begin now if you have had a runny nose for a couple of days I would highly
advise that you always speak to a healthcare professional just so they can find out what the
cause is now let's presume you've already spoke to your Healthcare professional and the most
likely cause for it is a common cold which is caused by a virus so I'm going to teach you what
you need to do to get rid of that Reno's so let's begin okay so tip number one try a nasal rinse
I am forever recommending this to my patients it flushes away all the excess mucus any irritants
it reduces inflammation and overall it really does help with a runny nose now the good news is you
can make a saline rinse at home straight away you probably don't need to buy anything and the good
news is I'm going to teach you how to do it right now Kettle water boil cook one teaspoon of salt
Add Water mix and your sailor rinse is now ready okay so here's the fun bit once you've made your
third line wrist the first thing you need to do is make sure you leave it to cool so it's not going
to burn you now once it's cooled you're going to go and stand over a sink you need to make sure
you're standing over a sink because this is going to be messy okay I promise you and then you're
gonna blame me for the mess that you've created stand over the sink pour a little bit of Sailor
rinse in the hand just cup it like so and then sort of block one nostril and sniff it up sniff
that solution up and then let it pour out of your nose you can do this two three times or however
many times that you want that you feel comfortable you might get a little bit that goes into your
throat just spit it out it's not going to harm you just make sure you spit it out and you don't
swallow it now one thing just to bear in mind it will take a bit of practice okay but you will
get the hang of it you can do it as many times in both nostrils okay until you feel comfortable just
please remember each time you're gonna do a nasal rinse a saline nasal rinse make a fresh batch now
moving on to tip number two steroid nasal sprays can also be really helpful when you've got a runny
nose it can help reduce that inflammation in the area but bear in mind they can take two to three
days for them to be really effective in terms of what I recommend Becca medicine works quite
well and it's probably easily available to buy at any chemist moving on to tip number three you
can also try antihistamines these can be really useful at reducing the histamine response which
is causing that Reynolds potentially in terms of what I recommend you you can get loratadine
and Fexofenadine I think these work quite well when you have a runny nose you can get it from
the supermarket or the chemist now please do remember with any medication always speak to
a healthcare professional first to make sure you're safe and suitable to take it and always
read the information these foot that comes with it so it looks like we've come to the end of
this week's video I really hope these tips help you with your runny nose always remember
you're awesome and I will see you next week trying to make this camera stay
still whilst bouncing it on a chair but it's ready not wanting to stay this is what I
have to do guys now okay I think that's gonna do
