Nasal Irrigations: A 360-Degree View in Clinical Practice

NaCl for COVID-19
43rd treatment shown to reduce risk in July 2022, now with p = 0.02 from 8 studies.
Lower risk for viral clearance.

Review of nasal irrigation as a safe, effective, and low-cost treatment for various upper respiratory conditions. High-volume, low-pressure saline irrigations are effective for removing infectious agents, allergens, and inflammatory mediators, with evidence supporting their use across multiple conditions including nasal congestion in infants, recurrent respiratory infections, acute and chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic rhinitis, and post-surgical care. For COVID-19, authors present promising findings: elderly patients who performed twice-daily nasal irrigation with hypertonic solution within 24 hours of SARS-CoV-2 detection showed an 8-fold reduction in hospitalization risk, and healthcare workers performing regular nasal rinsing reduced symptomatic infections to 1.2% versus 12.7% in controls. Authors suggest the mechanism involves antiviral effects through hypochlorous acid generation and direct virucidal action.
Reviews covering NaCl for COVID-19 include1-3.

Nasal irrigation (NI) is an effective, safe, low-cost strategy for treating and preventing upper respiratory tract diseases. High-volume, low-pressure saline irrigations are the most efficient method for removing infectious agents, allergens, and inflammatory mediators. This article reviews clinical evidence supporting NI use in various conditions: nasal congestion in infants, recurrent respiratory infections, acute and chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic and gestational rhinitis, empty nose syndrome, and post-endoscopic sinus surgery care. NI improves symptoms, reduces recurrence, enhances the efficacy of topical drugs, and decreases the need for antibiotics and decongestants. During the COVID-19 pandemic, NI has also been explored as a complementary measure to reduce viral load. Due to the safe profile and mechanical cleansing action on inflammatory mucus, nasal irrigations represent a valuable adjunctive treatment across a wide range of sinonasal conditions.

High-volume, low-pressure saline irrigations are the most efficient method for removing infectious agents, allergens, and inflammatory mediators. This article reviews clinical evidence supporting NI use in various conditions: nasal congestion in infants, recurrent respiratory infections, acute and chronic rhinosinusitis, allergic and gestational rhinitis, empty nose syndrome, and post-endoscopic sinus surgery care. NI improves symptoms, reduces recurrence, enhances the efficacy of topical drugs, and decreases the need for antibiotics and decongestants. During the COVID-19 pandemic, NI has also been explored as a complementary measure to reduce viral load. Due to the safe profile and mechanical cleansing action on inflammatory mucus, nasal irrigations represent a valuable adjunctive treatment across a wide range of sinonasal conditions.</jats:p>", "alternative-id": [ "medicina61081402" ], "author": [ { "ORCID": "https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9765-8006", "affiliation": [ { "name": "Pediatric Unit, Ospedale Vito Fazzi, ASL Lecce, 73100 Lecce, Italy" } ], "authenticated-orcid": false, "family": "Pecoraro", "given": "Luca", "sequence": "first" }, { "affiliation": [ { "name": "Pediatric Unit, Ospedale Vito Fazzi, ASL Lecce, 73100 Lecce, Italy" } ], "family": "Di Muri", "given": "Elisabetta", "sequence": "additional" }, { "affiliation": [ { "name": "Pediatric Unit, Ospedale Vito Fazzi, ASL Lecce, 73100 Lecce, Italy" } ], "family": "Lezzi", "given": "Gianluca", "sequence": "additional" }, { "affiliation": [ { "name": "Pediatric Department, University of Bari Aldo Moro, 70121 Bari, Italy" } ], "family": "Picciolo", "given": "Silvia", "sequence": "additional" }, { "affiliation": [ { "name": "Pediatric Department, University of Bari Aldo Moro, 70121 Bari, Italy" } ], "family": "De Musso", "given": "Marta", "sequence": "additional" }, { "ORCID": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7746-8267", "affiliation": [ { "name": "Pediatric Unit, Department of Surgical Sciences, Dentistry, Gynecology and Pediatrics, University of Verona, 37129 Verona, Italy" } ], "authenticated-orcid": false, "family": "Piazza", "given": "Michele", "sequence": "additional" }, { "affiliation": [ { "name": "Private Practice Pediatric Allergist, 20100 Milan, Italy" } ], "family": "Bosoni", "given": "Mariangela", "sequence": "additional" }, { "ORCID": "https://orcid.org/0000-0001-9789-7878", "affiliation": [ { "name": "Department of Experimental Medicine Pediatric Section, University of Salento Hospital “Vito Fazzi”, 73100 Lecce, Italy" } ], "authenticated-orcid": false, "family": "Indrio", "given": "Flavia", "sequence": "additional" } ], "container-title": "Medicina", "container-title-short": "Medicina", "content-domain": { "crossmark-restriction": false, "domain": [] }, "created": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 4 ] ], "date-time": "2025-08-04T09:41:17Z", "timestamp": 1754300477000 }, "deposited": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 4 ] ], "date-time": "2025-08-04T10:25:58Z", "timestamp": 1754303158000 }, "indexed": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 5 ] ], "date-time": "2025-08-05T00:01:56Z", "timestamp": 1754352116932, "version": "3.41.2" }, "is-referenced-by-count": 0, "issue": "8", "issued": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 1 ] ] }, "journal-issue": { "issue": "8", "published-online": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8 ] ] } }, "language": "en", "license": [ { "URL": "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/", "content-version": "vor", "delay-in-days": 0, "start": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 1 ] ], "date-time": "2025-08-01T00:00:00Z", "timestamp": 1754006400000 } } ], "link": [ { "URL": "https://www.mdpi.com/1648-9144/61/8/1402/pdf", "content-type": "unspecified", "content-version": "vor", "intended-application": "similarity-checking" } ], "member": "1968", "original-title": [], "page": "1402", "prefix": "10.3390", "published": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 1 ] ] }, "published-online": { "date-parts": [ [ 2025, 8, 1 ] ] }, "publisher": "MDPI AG", "reference": [ { "key": "ref_1", "unstructured": "Math, S.
