Why Use FESS

Travel

When travelling on an aeroplane it is very important to keep your nose moist and your nasal mucus thin as this helps to maintain a healthy Mucociliary Clearance System. This system is the first line of defense against inhaled germs, dust and allergens. It is especially important on an aeroplane in which there is a combination of dry and recycled air.

Did you know?

  • Aircraft cabins combine fresh and recycled air
  • Commercial aircraft cabins are pressurised and have very low humidity levels
  • Most microorganisms enter the body through the nose and thrive in the nasal passages. This may increase the risk of mild upper respiratory tract infections
  • The primary reason for catching a cold on a plane is the failure of the Mucociliary Clearance System
  • There is a 20% incidence of common colds among passengers who fly

Travel Tips:

  • Drink lots of fluids but avoid caffeine and alcohol
  • Wear loose clothing
  • Avoid getting too cold or chilled
  • Exercise your feet and ankles often
  • Walk around the cabin every 60-90 minutes for at least a few minutes
  • Wash your hands regularly
