A member asked:
I have ringing in the ear. then had fess/septoplasty. using neilmed sinus rinse 6 times a day. tinnitus now worse and can't smell - is this normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, rinse 1x/day: First question is how long after surgery? If 6 weeks or less your eustachian tubes are swollen that will increase awareness of tinnitus. Secondly, the 6 saline rinses are irritating the mucous membranes. Do it once, max. 2x/day.
