Does The Nasal Rinse Like Netti Pot Relieves The Sinus Condition?
I'm scheduled for septoplasty, endoscopic sinus surgery and then put a tube in my ear. I'm wondering if a nasal rinse such as a netti pot could relieve the sinus condition so surgery wouldn't be required. Perhaps I should just go for the tube in my ear to drain fluid and see if a nasal wash would help?

WELCOME TO HCM.
NASAL RINSES DO BENEFIT IN CASE OF SINUS INFECTION, TAKEN WITH OTHER MEDICINES TO SOME EXTENT. BUT IN CASE IF THE CONDITION IS SO SEVER THAT U HAVE BEEN ADVISED SURGERY AND TUBE INSERTION IN UR EAR, THAT MEANS IT WILL NOT GET BENEFITTED WITH MERE NETI POT RINSES. HAS UR NASAL ENDOSCOPY AND CT SCAN ALREADY DONE. THEY HELP IN DECIDING WHETHER U WILL GET BENEFITTED BY MEDICINES OR WILL NEED SOME DEFINITIVE SURGERY. U CAN TAKE A SECOND OPINION FROM ANOTHER ENT SPECIALIST.
