@doctorsood: Struggling with sinus congestion, allergies, or a cold? Nasal irrigation might be just what you need for relief, but it’s essential to do it the right way! Here are the top Dos and Don’ts to keep in mind: ✅ DO use distilled, sterile, or boiled water that’s cooled. Tap water can carry harmful microbes that are safe to drink but not safe for your nose! ✅ DO rinse with a saline solution to prevent irritation. Using plain water can cause burning or swelling. ✅ DO clean and thoroughly dry your neti pot or rinse bottle after every use to avoid reintroducing bacteria. ❌ DON’T overuse nasal rinses. Use them only when needed—overdoing it can irritate your nasal passages and disrupt their natural defenses. ❌ DON’T use if you have an ear infection or recent sinus surgery without consulting your doctor. ❌ DON’T forget to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your device and avoid using homemade saline solutions unless directed by a healthcare provider. ✨ Have you tried nasal irrigation before?
