Why did my doctor say do a nasal rinse before using my nasal spray ? help please
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better: Rinse and clear your nasal cavity before using nasal spray to have the desired effect, besides saline nasal wash helps reduce inflammation and congestion, also washes stuff that sticks to the mucus membranes perpetuating inflammation
