Abstract:
A cleansing composition for use in cleansing a subject's nasopharynx can include an effective amount of erythritol admixed with an acceptable carrier. The cleansing composition can be configured to be capable of being applied to the nasopharynx through the subject's nostril. Additionally, a method of cleansing a subject's nasopharynx can include nasally administering the cleansing composition to the nasopharynx. The method can also include retaining a portion of the cleansing composition in the nasopharynx for a sufficient duration to effect the cleansing.
