Does saline sprays and saline rinses like net pots dry out my nose and sinuses? I am 9 month post-op of Rhinoplasty.

October 1, 2015
Asked By:loriborders in Sacramento, CA

can someone help me get a clarification on this. I been doing saline sprays and sometimes saline rinse like neti pot for dry nose and crust. My surgeon suggest doing a saline rinse to help with the crusting that I was having in my nose. but my question is could the neti pot cause more dryness in my nose since I don't have a runny nose? I though this rinse was use when you have a runny nose to help dry out. my nose just feels dry all the time with crust inside. my surgeon said everything is Ok.
