Saline Nasal Washing

To make your own nasal rinse solution mix:

  • 1/3 teaspoon non-iodized table salt
  • Pinch of baking soda
  • 8 ounces of distilled or otherwise sterilized water. Water should be "baby bottle warm" in temperature.

Directions for washing:

  • Wash your hands. Gently blow your nose if necessary before beginning nasal rinsing.
  • Pour above solution into 8 oz. (adult size) or 4 oz (pediatric size) nasal rinse bottle, or Neti Pot.
  • Stand in front of the sink and tilt your head slightly down as to look at your toes. You may also do this in the shower.
  • Keep your mouth open and do not hold your breath. Gently place the nasal rinse bottle slightly into your nose (no more than ¼ inch).
  • GENTLY squeeze the nasal rinse bottle. GENTLY wash one nostril then the other nostril. You can use 2 to 4 oz. in each nostril. Nasal washings will hurt if you squeeze the bottle too hard.
  • DO NOT swallow the solution.
  • After you have completed the nasal washing, GENTLY blow your nose. DO NOT pinch your nose completely to blow because this will put too much pressure on your eardrum. 8. Pour out any solution you did not use. Rinse the bottle with hot water. Let it air dry.
  • Pour out any solution you did not use. Rinse the bottle with hot water. Let it air dry.
  • After rinsing, it is recommended to wait 30-60 minutes prior to placing any prescription nasal spray into the nose.

Nasal washing may be done multiple times a day but at least once daily as a general rule.

Do not rinse your nasal passages if they are completely blocked, if you have an ear infection or if your ears feel blocked. Stop nasal rinsing if you have any increased pressure or discomfort in your ears.

OAAC does not Renew Lease for Midwest City Satellite Clinic

After eight years of operation, the Oklahoma Allergy & Asthma Clinic will not be renewing our lease of the Midwest City satellite clinic as of Friday, April 28th.

We recognize this change will lead to an inconvenience for some of our patients. We will strive to make the transition as easy as possible.

  • Patients who have an appointment scheduled in the Midwest City office will receive a letter and follow-up communication with information on the clinic location where their next appointment will occur.
  • For most patients, the next closest location is the main office in Oklahoma City on Northeast 13th All of our locations have convenient free parking. You can reference location maps on our website.

    Our Midwest City location physicians: Dr. Bret Haymore, Dr. Greg Metz and Dr. Maya Gharfeh will have patient appointment availability at our other clinics where they currently see patients.
