You should get yourself a Neti Pot. It is a little ceramic pot with a spout and you mix a salt water solution in the pot, lean over your sink with your head turned to one side. You pour the salt water into one nostril and it flows through your sinus cavities and out the opposite nostril. then you lean the other way and do the other side. It will prevent an infection from starting or clear one up if it has already started.

I used to get several sinus infections every year and then I started having allergic reactions to the antibiotics I took to clear them up. This little pot and fixed it for me.

Four times a day if you have a cold or infection and once a day to prevent one.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had never heard of those, but I will definitely have to consider getting one. I haven’t had a bad upper respiratory infection since last Thanksgiving, but I am starting with a cold now. I’m leaving for vacation tomorrow, so I won’t be able to get one until I get back.

I’m hoping the Zicam I am using helps. I was using the nasal gel until I discovered on their website that they had pulled it off the market in June. I switched to the Zicam dissolve pill tonight, so I’ll have to see how it works. I’m hoping it works, as the gel seemed to work well.
