Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Hi, My neti pot doesn't make them worse because I forget to use it until I am having issues that are too uncomfortable to ignore. I have gotten relief though over the last two days by following this regimen: I took one sudafed (the stuff with the ephedrine in it not the other kind) two times per day. I upped my fluid intake and I used my neti pot with just saline when I got home. I had also been taking ibuprofen every 6 hours or so. I am not a pill taker so this was way more than I was used to but the headache was bad and on just one side of my forehead. The next morning my sinus headache was gone and when I used my neti pot both sides flowed freely if you know what I mean. I often find one side or the other blocked. I was taking also my allergy meds. I take over the counter claratin daily and I have a flonase type steroid spray I only take when things flare up. The combination of all this stuff has helped. I didn't get a chance to try the betadine (sp?) Mary recommended yet but I have it on hand now to use. I am going to keep up with the neti pot. I am allergic to dust, some type of mold, trees and weeds but not the usual ones. I am also allergic to cats, but I would rather have cats than no allergy problems. I know some people are very allergic and have to avoid them at all costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
