Nasal Lavage
When I get bad sinus infections my Drs in NZ advised Nasal Lavage. I can only beleive that he has never done this himself.
It all sounds so innocuous. "Just was your nose with warm salty water"
In reality it is close to drowning. Take warm salty water and fill your nose with it, then try and clear some airway to breathe, gasp in some air and then cough snort etc to get all the water out of your nose. Repeat until the water runs clear.
The saltiness of the water is a fine balance, too little and it is not effective, too much and you can spend the next 20 mins dry wretching.
Actually it works wonders on sinus inections and blocks. I just hate the sensation so much.
I've been really sick the last couple of days, was sickening for a week or so and took a turn for the worse, nose blocked, dry wretching coughing, and just exhausted. Going to the Drs tomorrow morning so hopefully find out what the problem is and get something to fix it.
It has slowed me down a lot- a serious sinus attack with some sort of chest cold. Apologies to all of those I am behind with on emails etc.
