Q: can i use nasal saline spray for my new nose piercing?

: You can, but a more important thing to do is keep the site clean -- wash frequently with soap and water, and apply an antibacterial cream such as Neosporin or Bacitracin twice a day. Nose piercings frequently get infected, and this will hopefully prevent that.
