On whether hydrogen peroxide can be used for nasal flushing
Modern physicians have more research on the use of hydrogen peroxide for nasal flushing. Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing, and it is often used as a disinfectant and antiseptic agent in the medical field.

Or hydrogen peroxide can be used for nasal flushing, because it can remove filth and germs in the nasal cavity by the power of oxidation, and can help reduce swelling of the nasal mucosa and improve ventilation. For rhinitis and sinusitis, moderate flushing with hydrogen peroxide may relieve symptoms. In case of thick or blocked nasal secretions, flush with hydrogen peroxide at an appropriate concentration to dilute it and make it easy to discharge.

However, some physicians think otherwise. Hydrogen peroxide is strongly oxidizing, and if the concentration is improper, it is easy to hurt the nasal mucosa. The nasal mucosa is delicate, and flushing with high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide can cause burns, pain, and even exacerbate inflammation. And frequent flushing with hydrogen peroxide may break the microecological balance in the nasal cavity, causing damage to beneficial bacteria and counteracting the growth of pathogens.

In summary, the use of hydrogen peroxide for nasal flushing has advantages and disadvantages. Those who use it must carefully review the condition, choose the appropriate concentration, and follow the doctor's advice. Do not make any claims, so as not to damage the health of the nasal cavity.
