I want to just know which type of soda did he sugest to add in warm water with salt to clean the nose and why this process is necessary?

The Soda that is used for making the nasal rinse is of baking soda area is very important not to confuse it with a baking powder.Rinsing clears all the debris that can accumulate after a nasal surgery.  Ventilation is very important for healing of any sinus or nasal surgery.RegardsDr. J

Her doctor was probably prescribing a home formulation of buffered saline solution. The idea would be to wash out pollutants inside the nose and decrease inflammation prior to surgery. Not all nose surgeons have the same protocol pre or postoperatively so I would suggest that she stick with the recommendations of her surgeon. Nasal saline solution is often helpful and extremely rarely harmful.
