A member asked:
I'm finishing a round of sulfa for a sinus infection. feeling much better. inside of my nose is raw,crusty,bloody & so painful. using saline spray?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Saline spray can help tremendously. If using mist, use throughout the day (at least 6-8 times) and if using irrigation (neti-pot), use at least twice/day. Can also apply petrolatum intranasally (Vaseline or Aquaphor).
