My nose is stuffed. so i took a bulb syringe with a solution of warm water and some salt and squeezed it up my nose. doing this is ok right?

Yes, likely to help: You have done nasal irrigation, used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries & growing in popularity in the US, with proven benefits for allergies & chronic sinus problems.It is best to use 1/2 tsp salt & 1/2 tsp baking soda in 8 ounces of warm filtered water. See http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/allergiesasthma/a/sinusirrigation.htm & http://www.fammed.wisc.edu/research/past-projects/nasal-irrigation.

Should be OK: As long as the syringe was clean... If you are that stuffy.. It might be allergy or a sinus infection... You can continue to irrigate but you should be checked by your primary care doc if it persists.

Nasal irrigation: Nasal irrigation is safe and effective.If you add 1/4 t o 1/2 teaspoon of pure sodium chloride (no additives) and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (not baking powder) to 8 ounces of body temperature water, you are creating a solution compatible with your nasal passages. The water should be distilled or previously boiled and allowed to cool to body temperature.Can use bulb or neti-pot or generic.

OK!: This is an effective treatment for nasal congestion. It is usually less uncomfortable to add a little baking soda to the salt water. Otc single-use pre-mixed packets of salt are available, as well as dosing syringes / neti-pot / etc. You may use this as often as desired (even 2 or 3 times a day) without major side effects. One good brand is neilmed sinus rinse (i am not a paid to endorse!).
