I've been down for the count today. My twice-a-year sinus infection has set in, and this one is a doozy. Probably the most intense sinus pain I've ever had.
The physician's assistant at my doctor's office recommended a neti pot. I've never used one but I'm open to anything when sinus pressure sets in. So, I bought one and gave it a go.
My first attempt was somewhat comical, probably because I didn't intentionally breathe through my mouth during the pour. It went pretty smoothly once I figured that out.
