Method for clearing a blocked feeler ... within guess ...?
Well, you know how the point of mucus is to be swallowed and digested surrounded by the stomach, to kill germs? Would it not be possible to somehow incorperate pepsin into a nasal spray, which would then assistance to break down excess mucus?
Yeah, I think I'm individual a bit stupid. :)
But still, this kind of article interests me. Can somebody who studies medicine provide me some info about why this wouldn't work? And what chemicals nasal sprays etc already contain?
Thanks!
Answers: Honestly, as disgusting as it looks, the best track to clear a blocked nose.... AND, clear the infection more vigorously, is to blow your nose outwards onto the floor!! 8( (Just as we do by sneezing! Our body's unprocessed defence!) This clears it thoroughly, until more mucus is produced, and expels as much surrounded by fection as possible.... reducing the amount of virus available!!
Pepsin acts pretty slowly, and it is possible that one could acquire allergic to it with repeated use.
A lot of the sensation of a blocked snout is swollen tissues, not excess mucus. Decongestant sprays work by shrinking those tissues, giving what mucus is there the opening to drain. Examples of decongestants are phenylephrine, phenylpropanolamine, l-desoxyephedrine (yes, the inactive isomer of crystal meth), and naphazoline.

The endeavour of the mucus is actually local, contained by the nose, not when swallowed, but you enjoy something of a point. Nose sprays generally sold for colds contain decongestants, which work by vasoconstriction. The classic drug still used within some ENT offices for the purpose is a 4% solution of cocaine, but that's across the world frowned upon in the nonspecific population, as the prison populations attest! They don't affect mucus production.
