- DoreenMichele 5y agoI have a form of cystic fibrosis. Nasal washes are routinely prescribed for the condition and my CF specialist gave me a recipe for a strong saline wash containing alcohol. I have, in fact, used peroxide to wash my sinuses. The result was that, in addition to being tortured, my sinuses were stripped of mucus and I was now defenseless and more vulnerable to infection. It took a while for my sinuses to heal. Medically recommended sinus washes are generally based on some kind of salt solution. I've tried at least three different variations over the years. Gentler is better because it is less of an assault on the body. A xylitol-saline solution was the gentlest and most effective. Xylitol is a simple sugar known to kill infection. That worked far better for me than standard saline, strong saline or saline with alcohol added and it wasn't torture like the others. I would strongly recommend against using peroxide on your nasal passages. This is not medical advice. I am not a doctor. I'm just a factory reject with defective genes who has put lots of stuff up my nose over the years, sometimes out of desperation. So I have, in fact, put peroxide up my nose and my personal opinion is that it's a really bad thing to do as it hurts like a bitch and also leaves you defenseless.
