OK, so after doing the Nasaline About Nasaline and feeling great, I got a little lax and a little cocky. I was only doing it once a week or so and the BAM! POW! KA-BOOM! I got a sinus infection last week.
My track record with sinus infections isn’t good and I am usually sick for two or three months before I clear them and have to take a few rounds of antibiotics. By the time the infection is gone I am so run down from the antibiotics that is take a few more weeks to feel normal and good again.
Well last Wednesday December the 12th, I started feeling iffy. I went to bed early. I had been tired earlier in the week and went to bed early a couple of time. But Wednesday I knew that something wasn’t feeling right and by Thursday I knew for sure that I had a sinus infection---AGAIN!
So this time instead of going to the doc I decided to see if I could use the Nasaline with sea salt to clear the infection. I also took 1000mg of ester-c 3 times daily and 4 Kwai Garlic tablets 3 times daily 12 total. I also took some Advil cold and sinus to help dry of the drainage as needed. And then I flushed my nose out 4-6 times a day with nothing but Mortons sea salt and luke warm water. Anytime I woke up in the night I flushed out my nose.
Well it is now Monday December 17 and I am almost over it in just 5 days with no antibiotics and no trip to the doc. I am still having a little drainage, but things are quickly getting back to normal. I have gone through a few boxes of Puffs with lotion and my nose is a little tender. The salt makes it run a bit more as it is clearing out the junk.
I think I had kept up with my daily rinsing that I wouldn’t have gotten sick. However once I got sick the stepped up rinsing really did the trick. I will be certain to not be complacent about my rinsing again! I have never gotten over a sinus infection so quickly and it didn't take its toll on my in the first few days like it usually does.
My loved ones will are getting Nasalines for Christmas. I went out and purchased them tonight. They will probably give me a hard time like the did the year I purchased everyone multiple battery operated water proof floating lanterns, but now when the power goes out I am the family hero. When the get sick they will see what a great gift this really is. I believe in giving practical gifts. What could be more practical than giving something that really does aid in healing!
