I bought a Sinugator and used it for the first time yesterday as I have had a headache for the last 5 days due to my sinuses - I followed the directions and everything was fine with the right nostril - but when I did the left nostril I felt a burning sensation so I stopped doing it. Should I try again? What is the cause of it burning?
The most likely cause of the burning is that you did not mix the solution completely and created an uneven mixture. Too much or little salt can cause pain. Please make sure you use the specified amount of warm (distilled, filtered [through 0.2 micron] or previously boiled) water for the packet. It is safe to continue rinsing as long as you do not have a blocked nasal passage. It may in fact alleviate your symptoms. However, if you do experience more pain, please contact our office toll free for further advice.
