The past week or so, I've been bogged down by some sort of sinus problem. I'm not sure if it's allergy-related, infection, inflammation of some kind or what. I just know I've been sneezing a lot, really congested and usually with pressure, if not pain, in my sinuses. Add to that, that my sinus problems usually lead to nausea, and if I'm not lucky, strep throat (because the mucus drips backward down my throat and feeds the bad bacteria. Blech.)
I was getting really fed up, not to mention about to run out of Tylenol Allergy pills, when a good friend reminded me that I own a Neti Pot. Huzzah.
I originally bought it because my sinuses seem to dry out sometimes. But hey, it's for rinsing, right?
It totally worked. I could tell the difference almost immediately. I had to repeat the next day, but still - a whole day's worth of relief from something I already own!
