I don't know if I would say it works, but it's something new to try! :)Anne Elliothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055804858934724486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-508051546040222682011-01-30T22:27:13.815-05:002011-01-30T22:27:13.815-05:00Agreeing with everyone else, you have to try the n...Agreeing with everyone else, you have to try the netti pot. They even make some now that look less like a teapot and more like a scientific rinse bottle, called NeilMed Sinus Rinse, but it is the same. They are pretty inexpensive, $15 or so at CVS, and it was the best $15 I ever spent on one of my middle of the night desperate CVS runs. Except do it an hour before you go to bed, not in the middle of the night as it won't drain properly if you go to sleep right away. It is the best, because after you have tried all sorts of meds that don't work, this is still safe to use!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624297955496298110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-11628251975224209332011-01-29T21:03:38.699-05:002011-01-29T21:03:38.699-05:00Try the Netti pot because it really works.

Haven't tried it, but Advil has a new med for congestion due to inflammation... sounds like it's up my alley. Increased humidity usually helps, showers, humidified (not cold mist those get mildew-y).

My mom used to heat up a pot of water on the stove & put a little Vicks Vapo Rub or peppermint extract in it, then have us stand over it with a towel over our head & breath the vapors (guess the vaporizer does the same thing).Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784780324255458135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449255540951766363.post-16959172879505202542011-01-28T21:31:34.263-05:002011-01-28T21:31:34.263-05:00I agree with the neti pot.
