Yeah, the body should absorb any salt. Maybe if you boil some distilled water (let it cool, of course) and do a sinus flush with pure water, it might wash dissolve some of it out. Just an idea. Good luck.
thanks for replying friggy, one last think, do you think the salt taste/smell will go away evntually, cheers
Ah, nevermind, I guess I did snort inwards on the third step, that would not be the source of your problem. The problems you are having seem to be in the upper sinuses, which is difficult to reach, or drain out, which is why you may need a scan.
I did the same thing, except inhaling it as the third step. The point is to get all of the saline out, with whatever you are trying to wash out. Plus, a saline flush should have cured the problem within a few weeks. You could have some blockage in your ostia (drainage holes) leading to some saline retention, or some other obstruction. You may want to go to an ENT and get that checked out.
also i've never had a problem with mucus build up, i would do the nasal clean and there would never be any mucus coming out, its just the foul odor & other sinusitis like symptoms i was trying to clear up
the way its been advised on here before, in the shower squirt it up each nostril bend over for a 10 seconds then blew it out,(twice) followed by the same process but inhale it instead of blowing it out
How did you administer the saline?
