Is it safe to do a neilmed nasal rinse with distilled cold salt water if i have burned my nostrils with steam that was too hot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
When the nasal passages are burned, they can become inflamed and sensitive. Using a NeilMed nasal rinse may exacerbate these symptoms and cause further discomfort. However, if you use the rinse properly and take steps to protect your nostrils, it may still be safe to use. Wait until your nostrils have healed as much as possible before using the rinse.

Did NeilMed nasal rinse. While doing it I held my breathe and exhaled while the water was passing through my nose. When I did, it caused a pressure push on/out of both ears and I felt them pop. Can this cause damage? Is the water still in my ears?
