In all of my years of being prescribed nasal sprays, not once has anyone showed me how to actually use it. Thank you for the informative and straight to the point video.

[@maxirossi8787]

You would think the doctor would show you how to use on when he prescribes it wouldn't you? No good though if it still doesn't work (I should know I've tried dozens). Only thing that helped my sinus issues was a natural nasal spray I got three months back that has cinnamon, cumin and manuka in it. Haven't used it since and I'm sorry but I keep forgetting its blasted name! At least now I can sleep at night and I'm not plagued with my sinus issues.

[@shamskhan-bg2pq]

Thanks you Dr

[@chrishayes5755]

I bet in all your years of being prescribed nasal sprays, not once has a doctor explained the relationship between allergies and diet. Diet can suppress your immune system which has direct impact on allergies. Your doc will have no problem giving you prednisone, only 1% chance your hips disintegrate into dust, or developing cushings disease, or hypertension, or diabetes. I went from blowing my nose 100x per day for years and having terrible polyps to my nose being 90% open and never runny. Don't eat anything processed. Everything cooked from scratch. No bad oils. Eat lots of quality meat, very limited heavy carbs like bread, lots of vegetables, herbs and seasonings, limited amount of fruit, as basic as possible.

[@adamburling9551]

@Chris Hayes that's too tall of an order not everyone has time for all of that dieting and eating the right things all of the time. Truth is. Some people just have bad allergic rhinitis. I'm not saying it wouldn't behoove one to be more mindful of what they eat and to minimize things like sugar to low amounts

[@char8337]

Simple things like this yes Ive been told dozens of times how to do this and always ended up with repeated bloody nose and it took me 10 times of watching you do it until I was ready to do it WITH you to realize Ive never done it correctly. Some people comprehension is slower than others and directions aren't always clear and here I am almost 30 and I've just now used it correctly for the first time. Thank you very much.

[@TonyClarkGuitar]

Thanks for pointing me to this video! I have been using Flonase for a few years and I have been doing in wrong. Dr. Abbas cauterized a blood vessel for me several months ago in my left nostril, but occasionally after use I would still have slight, not severe nose bleeds. I'm left handed and typically use my left hand for the spray. I apparently have been spraying the Flonase on my septum and that's what has been causing me these nose bleeds. Obviously it's worse in the winter. This helps tremendously!

[@life_score]

My nurse just gave me instructions for first use, looks like she deserve a medal or something given how many people never got instructions 😊

[@78sanaya]

God Bless you Doc! This video is really helpful. I just sprayed one nostril before seeing your video. I totllay did it wrong. I was able to taste the medicine and it was disgusting.

[@elizas2350]

A great demo! Good idea to spread each nostril before spraying & always remembering to point AWAY from the septum and with the opposite hand to the nostril ur addressing...at least with Nasonex for sinusitis. Doctors are mostly quite poor at giving detailed directions for use, perhaps bcos some tend to rush you through. I find pharmacists much better, but watching a demo always helps more. On a different but related issue re good med info, recently, I discovered that using a spacer, with a puffer, gives a much more efficient delivery...this was the FIRST doctor in 25 yrs who had ever told me that!! We have to be our own doctors, sometimes! 🥺

[@valarie22]

@@rigpod4821 thank you

[@carmenhorvath8748]

Very nice video. The application makes all the difference. You can even massage a little bit the nostril after spraying, while simultaneously, very gently, breathing in the medication, for 10 seconds.

This worked! I didn't taste it on my tongue. I was using the spray for 5 days cuz the inside of my nose got swollen and the doc said I have *rhinosinusitis* and he immediately said I needed surgery, But I had this inflammation for only 15 days, so I decided to use the medicines/sprays. I always felt the horrible taste while using it. Now I'm good thanks to you! It is really unprofessional of the doctor to not show me the proper way to do it. *Thank you again* ! I feel much better.

This stuff can’t stay in us until we take our Last breath, or we would have mountains of smelly farts, King Brownie and BOOGERS coming out all at once. The cemetery would not want all this just To bury people, so we’d be taken to the dump first, where they would have To deal with all this, and then to the cemetery. Nobody would want to cremate Someone if they had to cremate all this stuff too.

The directions in the boxes I got said to stick straight up the nose and spray then breathe in through your nose. Mine always goes to my throat and I almost throw up every time it's poisoney tasting. I did what he did, angled, head down, spray and little gentle sniffs to keep it in and I don't taste it anymore until later when I (snort in) I have sinus issues so I snort a lot. I'll sneeze and end up smelling it but It doesn't run down my throat anymore. THIS is what it should say in the instructions.

The only explanation to why dr dont explain how to use it and patients not benefiting from treatment is besides having zero conscious: Big pharma will benefit when patients use more of it and switch to different medications I wonder also ,why my blood pressure turns high ONLY when I am at the dr's? and they bullshit us by saying that it might be stress of visiting a dr ! Last time ,my blood pressure 15/10 at the dr's and 15 minutes later 11/7 at 3 different pharmacies. Zero conscious doctors
