"Cuckoo" Nasal Irrigation

"Cuckoo" nasal irrigation is a safe and effective procedure for cleansing the nasal passages, removing mucus, pus, and allergens, improving breathing, and preventing nasopharyngeal inflammatory processes. The procedure is named after the characteristic sound of air produced during irrigation. It is performed in an ENT physician's office using sterile solution and special equipment.

How the procedure is performed:

• the patient tilts their head to one side, the physician introduces the solution into one nostril
• the solution passes through the nasal cavity and exits through the mouth or opposite nostril, cleansing the mucosa
• the procedure takes 5–10 minutes, is easy and safe
• during irrigation the patient may hear a characteristic sound resembling a "cuckoo"

After the procedure

A brief sensation of coolness or moisture in the nose may occur. Breathing becomes freer, discharge decreases. The physician will provide further care and treatment recommendations if needed.
