You can use a natural nasal rinse as pictured below. This gentle spray will free up your passages from any opportunistic pathogens that may be taking up residence in your nose.
Or you can make your own formula and add it to a simple syringe bulb or nasal rinse kit. Just mix:
Draw the solution up into a bulb syringe and flush each nostril several times. Don't inhale through your nose. Let the mixture rest in your nose for a few seconds, and then gently blow your nostrils clean. Use this rinse once a day for two weeks and then as needed at the first sign of irritation.
