A member asked:
I used a saline spray right before realizing it had a terrible odor. it's old too. bacteria? threw it away, but im worried i got bacteria in my nose?

Unlikely: Hi, Nasal saline spray helps with congestion and it might have relieved yours, so you smell better now, I don`t think its bacterial infection. but if the saline spray is old and expired, please do not use it
