The mucous membrane of the nose that is constantly moist due to the mucus also dries when the humidity is low, and it has become a dry nose (dry rhinitis) with symptoms such as biting nose, no runny nose, and dull nose. increase. If it gets worse, it may cause nosebleeds. "In order to prevent the drying of the mucous membrane of the nose that is common in winter, it is necessary to use a humidifier to increase the humidity first. If the humidity is 40 % or less, the activity of the virus will increase and the cilia movement of the mucous membrane decreases. While it is easier to do, mites and molds are more likely to grow when it is 60 % or more. Using a humidifier can increase the humidity rapidly, so make sure that the hygrometer can be measured frequently with a hygrometer. It will be good. "However, if bacteria and mold breed in the water storage area, it will sprinkle in the air, so frequent care is also important.

It is also effective in preventing nose drying and inflammation. By the way, is the nasal gargle used in hay fever effective in preventing influenza or new colona? "Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the prevention effect of the new colona due to the nasal gargle, so I can't say anything. There are already research results that gargle is effective, so future research is awaited. "
