hi dr. i have been using sinus rinse for 1 week but have no relief. should i continue using it?

Generally you should begin to feel some relief immediately or, if not, in a matter of days unless you are fighting an acute infection. You might try rinsing twice or three times a day or rinse with a hypertonic (double or triple strength) solution to see if that helps. Some physicians believe that a more concentrated solution will draw the fluid and mucus out of congested nasal and sinus openings. If you suspect you may have an infection, please contact your physician.
