The Effectiveness Of Saline Nasal Spray Therapy On Changes In Nasal Mucociliary Transport Time In Patient With Allergic Rhinitis

Introduction: Treatment for allergic rhinitis as a disease that can impact on the quality of life, work productivity, school performance, and disturbances in the physiological function of the nose with recurring symptoms need more effective treatment. Nasal wash solution with isotonic saline in nasal spray method (Saline Nasal Spray) is known to reduce the symptoms of allergic rhinitis by clearing secretions, reduces edema, and remove harmful ingredients that go along with breathing air.
