I always suffer from allergic rhinitis. Recently I have used a Neti pot for sinus rinse, later I found the neti pot was somewhat dirty in one place and moreover I have used tap water with salt. I don't have any complications afterwards. Yet I'm worried if it will cause any sinus infection or not. Should I be worried?
