April 13 – VOICE. If this procedure is not performed correctly, inflammation may develop. One disease will be replaced by another, already more serious
Nowadays, among doctors there are both opponents and supporters of the nasal lavage procedure. However, doctors have not yet been able to find strong arguments in favor of one or another version. This was reported by the publication “MedZdravInfo” with reference to “Solenka.info”.
As it turned out, the mucus that is released from the nose is not only unpleasant “snot”, but also a protective environment for complex proteins. But the latter have nonspecific bactericidal properties, as well as protective factors. When the body is deprived of this natural defense, there is a risk of developing sinusitis.
Some studies have shown that people who regularly wash their noses get sinusitis on average 8 times a year. After its termination, a decrease in the indicator by 2 times was noted. Do not forget that salt water can lead to the destruction of epithelial cilia, which also perform a protective effect.
Doctors warn that if the procedure is carried out incorrectly, there is a risk of water entering the middle ear and nasopharynx. Together with the liquid in a sterile environment, harmful microflora may appear. And as a result, inflammation develops. As a result, with such treatment, one disease is replaced by another, more serious one.
