I have horrible sinuses especially in winter and I discovered this by accident. They work amazingly and are much easier to do instead of the constant neti pot!
Saline nasal sprays offer so much potential as a public health intervention to reduce viral illnesses. Easy to use, relatively cheap and widely available.
Congratulations to Professor Paul Little, winning Royal College of General Practitioners Research Paper of the Year 🌟
He and his team’s research found that simple nasal sprays, can shorten illness, ease symptoms and even reduce the need for antibiotics.
