one thing you should know about the netti pots...

You should use sterile water for that irrigation. There have been organisms that colonize the sinuses from non-sterilized water.
These are not normal pathogens and they don't respond well to
antibiotics. One is a mycobacterium and very hard to get rid of.

So get some sterile water or saline for irrigation at your pharmacy or online from Amazon to use in the netti pot. And make sure that pot stays clean too!

This is an article from the doctor one of our members at PN went to when she was cultured positive for this pathogen from using a netti pot.
