neti pot alternatives?
in Married Life
DUDE. I have an awful sinus headache that's been going on since Sunday. I've tried a steamy shower, using heat to relieve the pain. applying pressure... but nothing is getting rid of it.
I pulled out the neti pot this morning and managed to get through a bit of it, but then started dry heaving and had to stop. My nasal passages are sore still. (Note, this is not a typical response for me)
What else can I do to fix my head?? I'll give 4 million nest dollars to whomever can help me.
Re: neti pot alternatives?
I second the saline spray. It was the only thing that brought me relief when I had one.
I'm sorry, sinus infections are the WORST.
That blows. I'm no help.
I'm scared of Neti pots since that House episode where the patient got some sort of disease from it and almost died.
Anti-inflammatory, such as ibuprofen, lots of water and saline spray is the non Rx remedy. I get a lot of sinus infections and my dad is an allergist and deals with those a lot!
Agreed on the saline spray. That is the only stuff that saves my life when I'm super congested/sinus headache and pressure.
Have you tried blowing your nose?
I kid, I kid. I can't do the Neti Pot. It grosses me out, and the water always comes out of my eyes or gets stuck in my ears. I'm a sudafed and advil kind of girl.
Feel better!
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
Oh, I totally have even tried the farmer blow while in the shower hahahahahahaha. NOTHING IS MOVING IN THERE.
I think I freaked myself out because I read that article in the fall where 2 people died because they didn't have clean water and introduced bacterium into their sinuses. I boiled my water first and everything, but I am still freaked the eff out about the neti pot after the article.
