Can Nasal Irraigation Actually Shorten The Amount of Time It Takes You To Get Ov!
Question: I felt like i had a cold coming on tuesday and since then i have been doing nasal irrigation twice a day. It feels like the cold never really materialized, other than a little bit of a stuffed nose in the morning and the worse of it, which really wasn't bad, felt like it occurred about a day and half into it. Could nasal irrigation cause a cold to last for less time and be less severe or did i probably just have a minor cold?
This is the first time i ever did nasal irrigation during a cold, so i can't quite tell.

Yes, it could help. Cold viruses enter and attack the lining in our nose. A saline nasal irrigation could wash out excess bacteria and viruses out, and any infected cells, help kill them off and wash it away.
