My smell sense has been decreased greatly after using neti pot & gse for my sinuses, what happen? i put 4 drop of gse +240ml water+incl salt bag

Netipot: Try using sterile water as the tap water you are shooting up the nose may have bacteria. Also make sure you are cleaning the device properly. Also depending on how much force is used with insertion , you can be causing undue swelling.
