A member asked:

Do doctors reccomend for patients to use neti pot to clear sinus congestion?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some do.: Sinus irrigation can be helpful for some patients with chronic sinus problems. You want to make sure to use either previously boiled water that has been allowed to cool (to sterilize the water) or bottled water.
