Headaches when using neti pot / nasal irrigation? When you use a Neti pot for nasal irrigation I have to stop because I have a headache. A scan showed my sinuses years have been blocked. Neti pot is not good for blocked sinuses really bad?
Definitely yes. I always try to inform my patients that neti pot is risky for the health of the sinuses. Neti pot is a tool for people who already have healthy sinuses and it helps maintain healthy sinuses. But if you have sinus infection, things change radically.
Neti pot can carry germs into a cavity of the sinus cavities and other sinus or middle ear, so it exacerbates the infection. For the security options for nasal irrigation, please read here: http://www.howtogetridofsinusitis.com/na ...
