Have you tried this for a sinus infection?

I've never had to use one, but I've wondered how well it works. What does your hubby say?

Nasal irrigation with saline solution (whether using a neti pot or the squirty bottle "lavage" systems sold by allergists) can do a world of good for people with sinus problems. I've successfully avoided having to take antibiotics for sinus infections by irrigating morning and night with warm salt water.
It's also really nice in springtime when you've been out inhaling pollen all morning, it rinses many allergens out. The alternative is to let your body do it's job and produce copious amounts of mucus to carry all those pollens away, potentially experiencing a lot of histamine-related symptoms in the meantime.

Thanks for all your insight. Coincidentally enough, I had to go in for a head CT scan yesterday morning after I posted this thread to better figure out what to do with some TMJ issues that have been popping up (pun intended) in my right jaw. When they reviewed the cross section film of my sinuses, they found a sinus infection............
I ordered a neti pot last night and am eager to give it a shot. Snot shot!!
