The oxygen company will have more than one type of cannula and so I would start by explaining the problem and asking to try alternatives.
U can buy silk tape at the pharmacy a just tape it to her checked at night and the silk tape doesn't irritate skin, or u can ask it oxygen supplies company and they will help you
Thank you will try both and see what they can do thanks xx
I put the circle of tubing over my head, then put the nose prongs in my nose and then tighten the hose at the back quite tightly. It never falls of my nose, and also stays in place in bed.
