Hydrogen Peroxide Nasal Rinse Safety
Discussion on the safety of hydrogen peroxide for nasal flushing
Modern physicians have studied the method of nasal flushing more, hoping to keep the nasal orifices clear and remove all kinds of diseases. There are different opinions on the things used for flushing, and hydrogen peroxide is also included in the list of investigations.
For hydrogen peroxide, the chemical name is hydrogen peroxide, which has oxidation properties. Or some people think it can use the power of oxidation to remove nasal filth and kill all kinds of bacteria and toxins. When used in nasal flushing, its safety needs to be carefully examined.
From a physiological point of view, in the nasal cavity, the mucous membranes are delicate and rich in microvessels. In order to resist external evil and have the ability to self-clean, the cilia swing to clear foreign bodies. If rinsed with hydrogen peroxide, its oxidizing power can remove fouling and sterilize, but it may damage the mucosa. If the mucosa is damaged, it will lose its barrier ability, and it is easy to introduce evil into it, causing various nasal diseases.
Furthermore, when hydrogen peroxide decomposes, oxygen bubbles may be produced. In the narrow part of the nasal cavity, bubbles accumulate, or cause abnormal pressure, causing discomfort, and even damage the ears. Because the ears and noses are connected by the Eustachian tube, the pressure change can reach the ears.
It has also been tested in clinical practice. Those who rinse the nasal cavity with hydrogen peroxide feel tingling, burning, redness and swelling of the posterior mucosa, and even erosion. This shows that hydrogen peroxide is used for nasal rinsing, or there is a risk of safety.
Therefore, if you want to use hydrogen peroxide for nasal irrigation, the doctor should think carefully, observe the patient's condition carefully, and weigh the pros and cons. If it is not necessary, do not use it easily, and use a more appropriate and safe method to protect the health of the nose.
