I am pregnant and have sinusitis. I want to use the NetiPot, but am worried that I may swallow the solution, is it dangerous during pregnancy? Can I just use distilled water without the solution? Author: Kelly NeilMed Sinus Rinse is absolutely safe during the pregnancy and during breast feeding. Please do not use only distilled water as it will burn a lot. The distilled water or pure water is hypotonic, not isotonic, and can irritate your nasal passages. Last modified:12-07-2009, 6:48 pm Number of views:871 Ketan C.
