Nose Care

Your nose and sinuses can be affected in many ways throughout treatment. From a constantly dripping nose, the loss of nasal hairs, to hayfever-like reactions of sneezing and nasal congestion. The drying effect of treatments can also make your nose dry, crusty and painful. Management of these symptoms can improve your quality of life (and ability to breathe easier!). If you have had sinus surgery or head and neck radiotherapy, Floā„¢ products can help relieve nasal and sinus symptoms, but always check with your treating medical team first!
