Sinusitis tips?

[KrazyLoveAffair]

Visited my doctor yesterday and we think that I probably have sinusitis. Any advice on how to get rid of it? I need to be well before Friday. Right now, I'm taking Pencilin (antibiotic) and high dose vitamin C (10g). I'm also trying to get a lot of vitamin D. Other than that I'm trying to rest as much as possible. I'm also using saltwater spray and nasal spray

I'm boiling water for my netti pot right now, that's what's used right?

you don't need to boil the water. you want to use luke warm water or you will burn the inside of you sinuses.

what's netti pot?

[jfalco]

It's a little pot that looks kind of like a miniture tea pot. You fill it with luke warm salt water and pour the water into one nostral with your head tilted so that the water pours out your other nostral. It cleans out your sinuses.

Works great. It takes a little getting used to. It's not that uncomfortable, but it tickles a little some times.
