Abstract

Treatment strategies for the nose and sinus disease often include the use of nasal saline irrigations. The author presents his own experience and literature review concering the role of nasal saline irrigations in practice. The topical saline could be used as a treatment adjunct for the symptoms of chronic rhinosinusitis that enhances the effect of treatment, improves the quality of life and is well tolerated.
