Does nasal irrigation give me sinus and headache pain? Is this a normal side effect?

Yes, experiencing discomfort in the sinuses and head after nasal irrigation is a common side effect. It is recommended to limit nasal irrigation to no more than twice a day and for as short a duration as possible. It is important to weigh the benefits of nasal irrigation against the discomfort it may cause. Typically, 2 to 3 days of nasal irrigation is recommended for severe congestion or sinusitis.
