Hello Dr. Good morning: I have been using this product for a month as one of my collegue has recommended for my allergy problem - sinc I have chronic allergy problem. Question: Is it ok to use when there is a condition of sinusitis - common cold or nasal mucosa inflmaes?
Yes, NeilMed nasal irrigation devices are to be used to help relieve symptoms caused by allergies, sinusitis, cold, etc. The device works by the principles of improving nasal hygiene and reducing the inflammation. As this process takes place, sinus ostia or openings which open in the nasal cavity stay clean and sinuses drain better. When sinuses drain better, inflammation reduce and symptoms improve. If one had a surgery on the sinus, solution enters sinus cavity much better, if one did not have sinus surgery, it still penetrates but not as much. Also, different patients and under different medical conditions will have a different outcome.
