Sinus pressure

Post by wart57 »

Sucks. Or should I say doesn't suck since I can't get air through either nostril!

I have been told about this by co-workers. I think I may need one.

I've never tried it myself but I've heard it works really well.

It doesn't sound like it would be a real pleasant experience but I guess if you had a really clogged up nose it might be worth it.

I have never tried this so I don't know if it works, but I've been told if you take a hot water bottle and place it over your eyes and sinus cavities it breaks up the congestion.

“I would recommend never putting the Vicks in, or under, the nose of anybody — adult or child,” said Rubin, whose work is published in the latest issue of the journal Chest. “I also would follow the directions and never use it at all in children under age 2.”

We used to SWALLOW that stuff as kids for chest congestion.

I don't think it'd work if you were clogged up, you'd probably drown.
