A member asked:

Is it normal to have sinus congestion/pain after using neilmed sinus rinse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not usually: Some reasons for having sinus congestion/pain after nasal rinses are: 1. Applying to much force. 2. Using a wrong concentration (too much or too little) salt. 3. Too hot or too cold water temperature. Correct these and they are usually more comfortable.
