The best way to fight Swine Flu is to be vaccinated. If for some reason you are not a candidate for vaccination, then follow all the precautions for avoiding the swine flu (see related question below). There is a chance that if you immediately rinse your nostrils after an accidental exposure to respiratory droplets from someone's cough or sneeze, it may help you avoid getting the flu, but it is more likely that the same exposure would have also deposited droplets in your eyes or mouth (or on your face which could then later be introduced to your mucous tissue) which would make the nasal rinse inadequate.

One way the nasal rinse can help is to provide a soothing remedy for the symptoms of the flu that affect your nose and sinuses. It can also help you keep your nose clean, so that you would be less apt to spread the virus to others. And in children or others who are not attentive to basic hygiene, it may help prevent them from picking their noses and spreading the virus with their fingers if their noses are kept clean.
