GetYourBreath Back
I tried forthefirst time,thesaline rinse,anditworked pretty good,but itdidnotclear up mynose 100 percent. Itisvery easy todo,andyouwillgetinstant relief. Youshouldhavea plastic bottle thatyouuse,andyoudonothavetoputyourhead back,actually,theysaytokeep yourhead forward,andbreath through yourmouth. Whenyousqueeze thebottle,itpushes thewarm solution,up thenose andout theotherside. Donotswallow. Thenyoudotheotherside,andsoon,youwillbeabletobreath easier. Donotbenervous aboutdoing this,itiseasy,andyouwillbebreathing ,a lot better.
Yes nasal irrigation canhelp. Ithelps tocleanout allofthejunk thatcauses
problems,likemucous. It’s fun toperform. :{ I havebeenremiss indoing it
lately. It’s nota cure;justmakesyoursinuses feel a littlebetter. Goodluck.
Nasal irrigation iscertainlyone treatment forallergy symptoms (besure youuseonlynon-steroidal based nasal sprays such asnormal saline solution).
I wouldalsosuggest seeing anallergist. Yourprimary care doc canrefer youtoa competent one. Hewilldotests todetermine exactly whatyouareallergic toanddevise anindividualized treatment plantorelieve allyoursymptoms. Thisplanmayinclude prescription nasal sprays (both Flonase andNasonex arenon-steroidal andwork very well –I haveused both.) Itmayalsoinclude oral meds and/orallergy shots. Somepeople take weekly shots. ButI believe thereisa shot out now thatisgiven atthebeginning ofallergy season andtakes care ofsymptoms during theentire season. A goodquestionfortheallergist.
Another thing youcandoforyourself until yousee anallergist istogetBreathe Rightallergy strips. Theyareslim bandaid-likestrips thatgoover thebridge ofthenose andhold thenasal passages open sothatyoucanbreathe freely. Youcanstill usenasal sprays ifyouwish. Mostpeople arebothered more byallergy symptoms intheevening. Thenasal strips areusually putonatbedtime sothatyoucanbreathe thru thenight andgeta goodsleep.
Ifyoulive inanarea thathasSafeway stores theysell a generic brand atthepharmacy thatisidentical tothename brand andcost much less. Ifnot,look atothergrocery stores,discount stores,anddrug stores. I’m sure thereothergeneric brands out there.
Pls consider anallergist. Thisishisspecialty andhecanmakea much better diagnosis thanyourprimary care doc andgive youa treatment planthatwillwork foryou.
I suffered terriblyfromallergies foryears until I found a goodallergist. Now I havea treatment planthatI follow andthemisery isgone!!
Hope thishelps!!
