Clean that nose!

So many of our patients with asthma and bronchiectasis have chronic nasal infection. Without control of the nasal disease - particularly when the problem is infective sinusitis - the lower airway problems never settle.

Sometimes we are a bit micky-mouse about this. 'Try this steroid spray'. 'Sprinkle a bit of FESS up there'.

This is probably how it should be done.
