Nasal saline irrigation has been shown to be a beneficial therapy in the treatment and prevention of sinus infections and allergic rhinitis. This non-pharmacologic therapy involves rinsing the nasal passages with a salt-water solution, helping to rid the nose of allergens and thin out mucus.
1 Nasal irrigation can be accomplished with a Neti-pot or rinse kit (nasal bidet). 2  Rare fungal infections of the sinuses (for example, zygomycosis) constitute a medical emergency. 3  Complications of a sinus infection that may develop are meningitis, brain abscess, osteomyelitis, and orbital cellulitis.
