Neti Pot / Sinus Rinse?

<< < (3/7) > >>

HaRuMaN:
Ok, so I bought a nasal rinse thing from Walgreens on the way home.  Came with premixed packets of non-iodized salt & baking soda.  Just add warm distilled water and use.

No burning or stinging, and it got rid of everything other than the pressure.

Did a couple of snorts of Nasonex before bed, and got rid of the pressure, too.   :cheers:

I have some Nasonex at home, did that help?

Sorry, I realize now it was stupid of me to state this without including the outcome. Yeah it helped. But I also did nasal rinsing with warm water (like when in the shower, and I forget if I also did salted water). The Nasonex has steroids so you're not supposed to use it too frequently.

Ginsu Victim:
I only used a Neti Pot once, the same Walgreens one HarumaN mentioned. Worked great, but it's not an experience I'm a huge fan of. My wife hates the thing and stopped using it altogether. If I really needed it, I would use it again.

hypernova:
Mother in law uses it and loves it.  She bought one for my wife.  and she's used it as well, and will use it again as the need arises, so I guess it definitely helps.

Not me though.  Not sticking things in my nose that's been up other peoples' noses.  Plus I don't ever really need it.

Dervacumen:
I've been using a neti pot for several years whenever my sinuses get really inflamed.  My inflammation is due to allergies so during the late spring / summer I use it on average 2 days a week.  I've never needed it every day but have used it up to four or five days in a row on occasion as needed.  My wife has never really gotten in to it and has used it only four or five times and in my opinion it does take some practice to make it really effective.
For me it's been incredibly effective at relieving sinus pressure and improving airflow.  I've suggested it to several people with chronic sinusitis.
