📌 Key Takeaways:

Nasal spray is not the same as nasal drops—it’s a mist meant to be directed toward the side walls of the nose (turbinates), not the septum.

Always clean your nose first using steam and saline wash to remove mucus.

Spray should be angled from the edge of the eye to the ear to hit the turbinates.

Don’t swallow the spray—keep your head tilted and let it stay in the nose.

If sneezing occurs, gently press on your nose to reduce the reflex.

Proper technique = better results in treating sinus symptoms like congestion and pressure.
