What Causes Extremely Dry Nasal Passages?
I use oxygen 24/7, as a result I have extremely dry nasal passages. The build up blocks air flow and is painful. I have been using petroleum jelly, but now I read it is dangerous. I have been having a very differcult time breathing, night sweats, etc. What products can I obtain to help with this matter?
