Saline Rinse
Keep a saline rinse at home. There are two options: the neti pot, which is an irrigation system, and a saline nasal spray. Both clean out the nasal cavities and thin out mucus, making it easier to breathe through the nose. The rinsing process also removes any allergies and bacteria caught in the cavity.
Follow the directions to safely rinse both nasal passages. This procedure might also be helpful with colds, flu and sinus infections.4‘Is Rinsing Your Sinuses With Neti Pots Safe?’ U.S. Food and Drug Administration, FDA, www.fda.gov/consumers/consumer-updates/rinsing-your-sinuses-neti-pots-safe
