My nose is being really sensetive right now.. its too late to go
out of sinus meds, so whats the next best thing?

Hiya shelly!!!

Long time no see.

Try some salt water up your nose.

Okay, something like Zicam? I have that..

TRY SNIFFIN THESE DOZEN LONG STEM ROSES I GOT YA. LOL

Shelly, my advice is to FORGET IT! I'm taking everything--cortisone
nasal spray, super duper prescription antihisimes, etc. The only thing
we sufferes can do is cut off our noses(they're just decoration anyway)
or move to the moon where there is no atmosphere. One Dr. told me to get
some of those face masks to wear around town. Now wouldn't that turn the
guys on. LOL

Seriously, salt water. It works great, its nearly free, and stings, but
does the trick. There's even a special kettle to pour it (looks like a
long thin ornate tea-kettle) - but you dont need to go that far. Use an
empty sinus-squirter, or a children's "booger-sucker".

I recommend using sea-salt, maybe a teaspoon (less until you get used to
it), in a cup worth of warm water. Squirt it into your nostrils - let it
soak it. The first couple times you'll hate it. But it will instantly
work, and be chemical free.

The special Kettle that Mike is talking about is called a netti pot, and
the salt that goes in it is a special salt refined for use in the pot.
it generally holds about 8-10 oz water and 1/4 teaspoon salt. It works
very well for alot of sinus ailments including colds.

Yeah, get a wash cloth and get as wet as you can with a vinegar and
water solution, hold it over your knose and sniff till the solution goes
to you throat and makes you gag. That works, Ive never used salt though
it probably works too.

It also works for allergins. The principle behind the pot is to clean
the fine hairs in your sinuses and nose that carry impurities out of the
body. Also to create an unfriendly environment for germs and viruses. It
can be used several times a day, or once a week or month. It depends on
the person and situation. How do I know? I have and use one because I
have had sinus trouble for years, and it helps alot.

Oh I forgot to say, using the right kind of salt does not hurt abit!
