Does anybody else clear their nose by putting their pinky finger in the top of their nostril and then blowing? If I just blow my nose normally, I can’t get much to come out. But if I put my pinky finger in there, it changes the physics I guess so I can get it more out. Just curious if anybody else does this.
I have a whole routine where I blow my nose normally, then with pinky finger, then I use Q-tips to get the rest out. I use a nasal dilator for the earlier part of the day until I feel like I can breathe through my nose OK, since I have some slight external nasal valve collapse.
Oh—forget to mention I also do the Neil med sinus rinse at least once a day, but it only helps for a little bit. It’s like the snot keeps on a’comin’. I feel like a mucus or snot monster. 😉
My sinus doctor knows I do all this and is fine with it. I’m a candidate for Fess surgery and possibly also surgery for the nasal valve collapse.
