Proper administration of saline nasal sprays is crucial for effectiveness. Here are the steps:
Wash hands thoroughly before use. Shake the bottle gently and remove the cap. Lean slightly forward, keeping the head upright. Insert the nozzle into one nostril while closing the other with a finger. Squeeze the bottle to release the spray while gently inhaling through the nose. Repeat the process for the other nostril. Wipe the nozzle clean and replace the cap. Wash hands again after administration.
