A member asked:
Trying to drain my sinuses with neti-pot. is it advisable?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely: Netti-pot usage is designed to take foreign materials out of the sinus cavity when they are not being drained adequately by normal physiologic responses. Allergens, infected exudates, coagulated materials, etc, can be swept out and improve symptoms and illness without significant risk or cost.
