Question: Can you use a neti pot if you have an ear infection?
I took my son to an urgent care facility yesterday where he was diagnosed with severe sinusitis and an ear infection. He was put on antibiotics and I was told to get saline nasal spray or a neti pot.
I bought a neti pot and in the booklet that came with it, it says not to use it if you have an ear infection.
So should I follow the doctors advice or the directions for the neti pot?

Answers:
Both. Give the antibiotics a few days to work,use the saline spray then you can start with the neti pot. You can try ear candles. They are a bit of trouble but can clear up an ear infection pretty fast. Hope he feels better soon.
