Seasonal Allergies Signs, Symptoms & Treatments

Sinus irrigation

You can also relieve nasal congestion by rinsing your sinuses [9] with a saline solution. This is also known as nasal irrigation. Rinsing helps you clear out mucus and the allergens still in your nose. You do not need medications to rinse your sinuses. You can rinse your sinuses with a squeeze bottle, sinus irrigator, or neti pot. A neti pot is specifically designed for this purpose. You can purchase it at your local medicine store or order it from online retailers. Make the saline solution using sterile or distilled water. This helps to avoid contaminating the nasal passages with germs. Once you finish rinsing your sinuses, you should use the same kind of pure water to rinse the tools you employed.
