Caller was using Jet foam earlier, has a straw in the nozzle and is supposed to foam on nest. Applied several times previous days, "this morning the straw must have been plugged and it blew back." Washed soon after, hour and half ago sinus started burning. Went to RPh and was recommended to use saline nasal rinse. Caller was informed that no further sxs expected, no systemic effects. Perform irrigations as frequently as possible. Vit E oil topically should relieve irritation if needed.
