nasal wash

Nostril irrigation device

A nasal wash is the rinsing of nasal passages with saline solution to clear mucus, allergens, or irritants.

The liquid is typically delivered through a squeeze bottle or neti pot, entering one nostril and draining from the other: My doctor recommended a nasal wash for my sinus congestion.

Also called nasal irrigation or nasal rinse.
