Does nasal irrigation/wash will give relief from stuffy nose colds , allergies & sinus infection ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nasal irrigation: Yes, this will very often relieve symptoms of congestion, reduce some pain and shorten the duration of illness. You might invest in a Neti-pot and use saline rinses.
