Question

Answer 1

At most pharmacies you can find an item called a nasal pot. Some refer to it as a Netty Pot. You fill it with warm salty water and it flushes out the stuff clogging your nose. I am an opera singer and depend on having my nasal passages clear. This is the best. Better than nasal spray and not addicting at all.

Good luck!

Here are some helpful tips for keeping your nose in tip top shape:

1. Take a steaming hot bath or shower and the fumes from the hot water will help clear your nose.

2. Try and go to an indoor pool and swim around for a bit. Chances are, you'll sneeze and water will wash the snot out of your nose and help you breathe. This is coming from a swimmer, it works!

3. Try to get some drops or spray that you spray up your nostril. I usually use some variety of Afrin. (sp?)

4. Blow your nose very hard and try and clean every thing out before you sleep. If your nose is sore and dry, rub some Vaseline under it on the sore spots.

5. Also, although you have something against meds., if you're willing to take your chances I'd pick up some Sudaphed from a drug store. It works like magic on me, but it does vary from person to person.

I hope these tips help you and I hope you get to feeling better!

i once heard that if u sniffed pepper spray (spray into cup and take a sniff) i know it sounds crazy but i got a sinus infection not too long ago and i would have done anything to breath correctly. it worked. it makes ur eyes water and ur nose run like nothing uve ever seen before. just dont inhale (dont open ur mouth at all) it irritates ur throat and u end up coughing uncontrolably with a really really sore throat. icy hot dabbed underneath the nose also helps, but doesnt work as well.

vaporizor (instead of humidfier) in ur bedroom or just around the house..... the deal is to get ur enviroment moist.....
hot showers ...( to get the bathroom full of steam) u can sit in there for a while .....
when your not wanting to do these thing ... a nice hot cup of cocoa , coffee or tea ( hold it under ur nose) breathe deep like u loving the smell ......

all these things I did growing up .... and I pass along to my kids.... THEY WORK!

btw, sleeping with the bedroom window cracked open does help too :)


if ur heating ur appartment with electric heat or the old radiators.... they dry the air up.... ( hence the clogged or dry nasal)


I wish I could help u taste ...but my mom used to put HOT PEPPERS on food or our tongues to "wake up" the tase buds LOL

they helped more with the nasal ! than anything ..LOL

Answer 5

Lay face down for a while if you can to help drain your sinuses.
Wrap a hot water bottle in a wet (squeezed out) clean towel and put it on your face - not too hot or you'll burn yourself, but moist heat is good for clearing sinuses.
Tylenol sinus works pretty good.

Answer 6

if you don't like meds try saline solution its a nose spray that help but you could have a sinus infection so you may have to take meds. Try the saline solution
