Saline nasal irrigation better than saline spray for sinonasal symptoms

Reuters Health "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Nasal irrigations, using a large volume of saline and delivered with low pressure, are more effective than saline sprays for chronic sinonasal symptoms, according to a report in the November issue of the Archives of Otolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery. Saline irrigation is a standard treatment for such symptoms, but many physicians prescribe nasal sprays instead, believing that this treatment is just as effective, but better tolerated. The efficacy of these sprays, however, has not been established. "
