nasal flush on a fast day

Question:

My daughter suffers from sinusitis and uses a nasal flush daily. Some of the saline usually goes down the back of her throat, although it is not intentional or pleasant.
Is she allowed to do the nasal flush on Asara b’teves (or any other fast day)?

Answer:

Thank you for your question.

Even if some of the saline solution does go down the back of her mouth it is not the norml form of eating and not an issue.

Have a meaniingful and easy fast
