Dr. Mehta - My fiance uses the Sinus Rinse- Isotonic on a daily basis. I decided to try it myself; I have some congestion on occasion - but noticed when I used the rinse that it made me feel like I had cold like symptoms on both occasions. Is that normal? Thank you.
This does happen to some people due to reflex congestion from salineexposure. This condition should be transient. If symptoms continue, youmay consider using a hypertonic solution. By adding two of the regularblue mixture packets, you will make a double strength (hypertonic)solution. An alternate solution is to use an over the counter decongestantfor a day or two. However, this is a benign, mild condition that shouldresolve on its own with time, and unless severely symptomatic, there is noneed to discontinue ongoing irrigation.
