A member asked:
If the salt was not dissolved into the water when i used the neti pot, is that dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is not dangerous, but probably burned like the dickens when you rinsed your nose if there was not enough salt dissolved in the water. You can purchase salt packages over the counter in the future (i.e. Neilmed since rinse) that will not have the same problem.
