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.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

Another voice shouting the glories of the squeezy bottle. Huzzah!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.
