Neti Pot is good: Neti pots done correctly can help tremendously with sinus issues. Follow the instruction to make sure you are not putting in unclean water, etc. It works effectively and should not typically cause any further issues to the throat. If not done properly, it can cause irritation to the local area. There can also be a local viral illness or reflux causing discomfort. Check with an md if not better.
