Had sinus surgery six weeks ago. was using neti pot 4 times a day for 4 weeks. was experiencing etd symptoms. switched to saline spray. used a few times 3 days ago. etd has gotten worse. nose constantly runs. will this resolve itself?

You should switch nasal saline to nasacort or nasonex (OTC), twice a day, as a trial. The inhaler can slow down the runny nose (rhinorrhea) and open the eustachian opening.

might, can use nsns saline sprays like a neilmed bottle and aim into corner of eye up nose rather than along floor of nose (which happens at tiems with netipot), irrigation into ET orifice can aggrivate ETD. fluticasone/fluconalide sprays can help w inflammation/rhinitis. but not all rhinitis allergic--vasomotor possible as well, followup w your surgeon re med management postop re this
