Help with cannula

I am in need of some tips, my left nostril has a crust build up and is sore, I have been using an ointment,, changing / cleaning the cannula and using in the one nostril. Any suggestions?

  1. Just wanted to share some of the articles we have on this issue. It is definitely annoying and can make a sticky situation even more annoying.

    1. Ayr gel

    2. Saline gel and spray are really common tools here in the community. Easy to get and tends to really help keep things moist. Glad it helps you, too. Thanks for sharing! -Melissa, team member
