A member asked:
One of my nostrils gets dry and cracks very often. when i use saline sprays it actually seems to make it more dry and irritated. is that possible?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually: Be sure that your saline spray is not from a hypertonic saline solution. May try a nasal gel spray or nasal gel to see if it works better.
