A member asked:
Is it ok to wash inside your nostrils when washing your face? i rinsed and blew my nose but i worry about soap residue staying in my nose. should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wash nostrils: Should be no problem. Just rinse with plenty of water to get rid of soap. Have not seen any data suggesting it is better than washing nose. You can go to PUBMED and search for all articles related to your question.
