For instance, to spray your right nostril, aim the spray slightly towards your right ear. That angle prevents you from spraying too far into your nose, where the nasal spray might cause the tissue to thin and bleed.

When you need to blow your nose, flip the inside bar so that it points upright and sits against the inside of your nose. That way, the jewelry won’t get full of mucus or hit with the pressure of your exhale. You can flip the bar back down if it’s more comfortable for you, or leave it up until your allergies/cold improves. Only use this option if your piercing has healed enough to change out your jewelry.

Leaving the jewelry in will prevent the hole from closing up. This is particularly crucial if you got the piercing within a year and it’s still healing. Create your own saline solution by mixing 8 fluid ounces (240 ml) warm distilled water with 0. 5 tsp (2. 5 g) salt. [12] X Research source

Don’t use hydrogen peroxide or rubbing alcohol to clean your piercings since that will irritate the skin and slow healing.

You can also use non-woven gauze.
