I have been using your product for quite some time. Lately I have noticed that after I use it - it feels like there is still solution in my nasal passages that needs to come out. I get more sinus pressure. Could some of the solution be staying in my sinuses? Can this cause infection?

It is normal for some solution to pool in the sinuses, especially if you have had sinus surgery. This normally drains out in the first 15 to 20 minutes after rinsing. Sometimes it does not drain until hours later when you bend over. It will not cause infection but can be bothersome, which is why we recommend rinsing an hour before going out or going to bed. We suggest that after you rinse you bend your head over and tilt your head from side to side while blowing your nose gently.
