I know that's what the neti pot does in theory, but it hasn't been roto-rooting so well.)
Neilmed squeeze bottle. Honest to god try Neilmed squeeze bottle. Most pharmacies (including most pharmacies in supermarkets and big box stores) carry it. Works so much better than conventional neilmed. I use the salts for it at double strength.
I've read massive accolades to the squeeze bottle. I'll probably give the neti pot another day or two and then switch to the squeeze bottle.
If you do end up switching to the squeezy bottle (which I also recommend) - one word of warning while your ears are still part of the problem - where the bottle says to squeeze GENTLY? Believe it. Voice of experience.
Another voice shouting the glories of the squeezy bottle. Huzzah!
Back from the mammogram. Boy, that's a dignified experience for all involved.
I used the squeeze bottle last sinus infection I had. It really cleared everything out.
Health-and-procedure ~ma for Steph and Vortex! Personally, I do not like anything that is referred to as a "procedure".
I use a squeeze bottle of 4Way, a saline solution with menthol (yes). It opens my head up pretty good. I've never heard of NeilMed.
I've never heard of 4Way, but at the mention of adding menthol to the mix, I think I heard the angels sing...
I first bought 4Way in NJ. Couldn't find it when I moved here (VA) so I bought a four-pack off Amazon. I don't know what if anything it would do for an infection, but for just keeping sinuses clear in these pollen-filled mountains, it's great.
Yeah, I'd be hesitant while sinus infected, but for everyday when my allergies are, well, Epic, sounds kinda awesome. Maybe I'll poke around next time I'm on drugstore.com.
Yeah, drugstore.com has it. I've bought there as well, just not in the multi-packs. They make a non-menthol version too.
