Use of Jal Neti

2020-12-12 18:44:34
Hello doctor Is Jal Neti safe? I have had rhinosinusitis and my nose seems blocked which has been impeding my sense of smell for the last couple of months. I have been only getting very faint sense of smell. I have been doing Jal Neti for 2-3 days now and I feel reduction in my mucous, but is it really safe? (I have been prescribed to use Avamys spray each night)
