Hypertonic Saline for Sinus Infections
- To make up solution, boil one quart of water;
- Add 2 tablespoons salt (non-iodized, no preservatives) and 1 tablespoon baking soda.
- You may use a bulb syringe or regular syringe for the irrigations.
- Irrigate 2-3 times daily, leaning over a sink.
- Some patients have used a “Water-Pic” device with great success.
- After each use, flush a small amount of rubbing alcohol through the syringe and allow it to dry completely.
- Make a new salt solution at least once a week and store in a bottle which has been rinsed in boiling water.
