[Other content in the package insert] Health Advice
●Blow your nose properly. When you have rhinitis, you blow your nose frequently. Blowing too hard can cause acute otitis media. Blow gently, one nostril at a time.
●Beware of dirty air
Air pollution, as well as dust and dirt in the air, high temperatures, and dryness, can cause rhinitis to become chronic.
When in dirty air, wear a mask to protect your nasal mucosa.
●Strengthen your skin
If you tend to get rhinitis repeatedly, strengthen your body with skin massage and the like on a regular basis.
It is also important to avoid catching colds, a major cause of rhinitis.
