Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Suzanne - When nebulizing the saline, I read that we should exhale through our nose to help ease or rid us of sinus infections. So it makes sense that you have eliminated your sinus infections with the mask as you probably get the saline into your nasal passages.

I used to get a couple of douzzies at least twice a year. My doctor thinks the inhaled saline has a lot to do with it - I wear a face mask - don't use the hand-held device - so some goes into the nasal passages.Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 I have often wondering if using a mask would also help the sinuses. It is worth a try.
