Oxygen Nasal Cannular and KY Jelly

Good afternoon everyone, Due to being on Oxygen 24/7 between 4-6 lpm, my nose gets very dry and sore and at times I need to use Naseptin Nasal Cream which I was prescribed by my COPD Nurse.

Am I also ok using KY Jelly to keep my nostrils moist? Or is this classed as being flammable?

Kind regards as always

Joseph. x

KY jelly is fine Joseph as it’s not Petroleum based. Hope it helps you xxx👍

Hiya, agree with Sassy ☺️ yes KY is perfect and will help. Yes dry nose is extremely painful after a bit, mine was sometimes bleeding. I also heard that you can get a mask made by Oxymask, it should help with the nose. Best wishes 🌺🌺🌺

Thanks for asking that question, as I too have the same problem, also get blood in my nose. Will get some Ky jelly if that helps moistures the lining of the nose . Thanks again.

Sesame oil also prevents/cures nostril bleeding caused by cannula usage for oxygen,
