Can Arm & Hammer Saline Be Used For Pain After A Deviated Septum Surgery?

I have had deviated septum surgery on Mon the 14th it s now the 18th I have been carefully to not blow my nose. I can breath a little out of both nostrils. I stop using that affirm yesterday per docs orders. The regular saline is not quite clearing my nose and I can t seem to sniff it all back in order to spit it out. Can I use Arm& Hammer saline with eucalyptus or will it cause more pain and discomfort
