Introduction
Your ears, nose, and throat (ENT) area is one of the most important parts of your body. It’s responsible for keeping you healthy and feeling good. Say’s Dr Paul Drago, but it can also cause problems if it’s not taken care of properly. Here are five tips on how to keep your ENT area healthy:
Avoid blowing your nose too hard.
Blowing your nose too hard can damage the delicate tissue in your nasal passages and sinuses. Instead, use a nasal spray or a nasal wash to clean out your nasal passage. A humidifier will help keep moisture in the air around your nose and prevent irritation from dryness.
Use a humidifier to keep your nasal passage moisturized.
A humidifier is a great way to keep your nasal passage moisturized. Humidifiers can be used in the bedroom, and they can also be used with a CPAP machine if you have sleep apnea. If you are suffering from allergies or sinusitis, using a humidifier may help reduce symptoms by keeping your nasal cavity moistened throughout the night.
You might think that using a humidifier would make it harder for you to breathe at night since it’s adding moisture into the air around your bedside table (or wherever else), but this isn’t true! The amount of moisture added by these devices is very small compared to what naturally occurs when we exhale through our nostrils every day–and even less than what would happen if we had steamy showers every day!
Give up smoking.
If you’re a smoker, it’s time to quit. Smoking can damage your throat and lungs, causing a whole host of health problems. It can also cause cancer, heart disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
If you have chronic bronchitis caused by smoking or other causes such as air pollution or allergies, your ENT might recommend an inhaler containing steroids that help loosen up mucus so it’s easier to cough out.
Use a saline rinse.
- Saline rinses. Saline rinses can help keep the nasal passage hydrated and reduce symptoms of dryness, such as nasal congestion and itching.
- Use a saline rinse before bedtime to help you sleep, or if you have trouble sleeping due to sinus problems.
Saline rinses are available at the pharmacy; follow instructions on the bottle for use with each specific product
Stop using cotton swabs to clean your ears.
Using cotton swabs to clean your ears is not a good idea. In fact, it can damage your eardrum and push earwax deeper into your ear canal. Instead of using cotton swabs, use a washcloth or tissue with warm water to clean out any excess wax that has built up inside your ears.
Take care of your ENT area
In the case of ENT hygiene, you should take care of your ears, nose, and throat.
You may be wondering why we’re talking about a subject that isn’t directly related to teeth or gums. Well, it’s true that oral hygiene is usually what we think about when we talk about dental health, but there are other parts of our body that need regular care as well–and one of those is our ENT area (ears, nose and throat).
The fact is that infections in this part of the body can cause serious problems if left untreated over time; therefore it’s important for everyone to understand how important it is for them to keep these areas clean so they don’t get sick later on down the road!
Conclusion
We hope these tips will help you take better care of your ears, nose and throat. By following them, you can avoid many common problems that may arise from poor hygiene or lack of attention to these areas.
