My doctor said these packs are absorbable. Therefore there is no need for the packs to be removed. Once I start to douche their nose with saline the packs disintegrate and fall out on their own. How long will this take? Should I use other methods to speed up the process - nose is fully blocked still can't breathe out of either nostril ... thanks in advance :)
