Quick Reference
A Neti pot is considered an over-the-counter medical device used for nasal irrigation, which helps to treat or mitigate symptoms associated with allergies, colds, and sinus infections. The IRS allows expenses paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, or for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body, to be qualified medical expenses. As an OTC medical supply, it does not require a prescription.
