A member asked:

Will using a neti pot help a sinus infection and hay fever ?

Dr. John Chiu answered

Yes: Nasal irrigation regular do seem to improve nasal symptoms and reduce sinus infection for some people. However it is more a supplementary measure for most cases since most sinus infections (bacterial not viral ) do require an antibiotic- this view however may not be shared by some.
