Tips and precautions
▸ The frequency and duration of the cleaning process may vary according to needs. You can irrigate once or twice a day, continuously. For more acute needs, you can irrigate more frequently.
▸ Use drinking water from a supply network that guarantees the absence of pathogenic micro-organisms. Failing this, boiled or sterile water should be used. The use of sterile or boiled water may be recommended for certain diseases (e.g., cystic fibrosis) or after nasal surgery.
▸ Do not force irrigation if the nose is completely blocked.
▸ Avoid ingestion.
▸ If you have an ear infection, consult your doctor.
▸ The solution with Sinusalt® must be prepared immediately before use, because it does not contain preservatives. The water must be lukewarm (35-39 ºC) to ensure comfort.
▸ When you change nostrils, blow through the nose to expel mucus. Do not force nose-blowing by blocking one nostril with your fingers.
▸ After the irrigation, there may be liquid retained in the nasal sinuses that will be expelled during the following minutes as a small nasal discharge. This liquid can be expelled more easily by making movements with the head down and forward.
▸ The first irrigations may be accompanied by a sensation of frontal pressure.
▸ Gently squeeze the bottle. High pressure can be harmful.
▸ If you have any questions about how to use this product, ask your specialist.
▸ Set the water temperature to 35-39°C for comfortable irrigation.
▸ Press the bottle gently as high pressures can cause damage. Always press with the thumb on the posterior circle.
▸ Take advantage of changes in the orifice to blow through the nose to help expel mucus. Do not force expulsion by blocking one of the nostrils with your fingers.
▸ After the irrigation is performed, there may be fluid retained in the sinuses that will be expelled over the next few minutes as a small nasal discharge. The expulsion of this fluid is encouraged by moving the head sideways and forward.
