Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 i use an over the counter saline spray a few times a day or if my nose needs unclogging there are people on line who use other stuff -- like a netti pot some people have humidifyers atttached to their oxygen, but I don't use one, so don't know how it works Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: "Nasal blockage"To: Breathe-Support Date: Saturday, October 24, 2009, 5:44 PM Hello to all! It's been a long time since i've asked any questions but I have one now that concerns me. My problem is with the constant nose bleeds and mucus build up. I do take nac. I notice once my nasal passages clog up, it becomes a little hard to breathe. Then I have to use some cotton balls and q-tips to clear my nose. Does anyone else have this problem? Any solutions? Although it's been some time since I've written, I read the messages as much as I can. I don't know where I would be without all of you and all the wonderful information you give everyday.

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 , I just started using a neti pot. I'm amazed at the difference in only a couple of days. I highly recommend. l also swab the inside of my nose a couple of times a day with plain old ky jelly. It does help keep the nose from drying out and bleeding.. If your oxygen is at 5 liters or more you really should have a water bottle attached to the concentrator to humidify the oxygen flow. It does help keep your nose from getting so dried out and sore. Hope some of this helps! Beth Moderator Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 Dermatomyositis 11/08 To: Breathe-Support Sent: Sat, October 24, 2009 5:44:43 PMSubject: "Nasal blockage" Hello to all!

Guest guest Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Many of us use Ayr or Ocean Spray to help with the nose and with nose bleeds. Also cleansing with a Neti Pot or with a saline spray or solution can help with some of the mucus in the nose. > > Hello to all!
