If you still have to leave, wait until 2-3 hours pass from the last inhalation with Borjomi. When you are outdoors, do not breathe with your mouth. The fact is that cold air entering through the nose warms up more when passing through the respiratory tract than through the mouth.
These inhalations are completely harmless, and this is their plus, beneficial substances quickly penetrate into the lungs and contribute to the rapid separation of sputum.
Self-medication for coughing or other diseases of the respiratory system is prohibited. All procedures should be prescribed by your doctor in whom you are being observed. After all, only he knows the reaction of your body to drugs and treatment methods. It is he who will tell you when you can start making inhalations with Borjomi. Since in the acute period they can harm you. Often inhalations are prescribed along with a course of drugs. Do not interrupt their intake if you feel relief after a couple of procedures with mineral water. To maintain immunity, many recommend drinking Borjomi (but only after consulting a doctor).

Counterfeits of Borjomi can be found even in expensive ones. Since this brand has established itself many years ago, its reliability has been proven and verified, and scammers are in a hurry to take advantage of this, passing off ordinary water as an expensive brand. Inspect the bottle, the real one is made of high-quality glass, there are no rough seams, the stigma of the deer has clear boundaries, and the cork has an even thread and pattern. Buy water in pharmacies, where you can meet a fake, but much less often.
