Sodium chloride can also be used to clean wounds, irrigate the nose and throat, and dissolve medications for inhalation or injection. 💉 In the body, sodium plays a vital role in maintaining normal fluid balance, nerve and muscle function, and 🩸 pressure. Sodium chloride is a source of both sodium and chloride, two electrolytes that are essential for the proper functioning of the body. When the body is depleted of these electrolytes, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle cramps, and nausea. 🤮😴
