sneezing after using neti pot

One of them was using a neti-pot. The neti-pot uses a saline solution to clean out your whole nasal passage. From my experience, I did not notice any reduction in patm from doing this. However, I did breathe a bit clearer. From my experience living with patm, I do not think this theory is the cause of it. At least we are thinking of different theories and testing them out to try and pinpoint whatever might be causing this mysterious enigma.

I suffer from chronic night-time (when in bed to sleep) nasal congestion. It responds well to the medication used in Afrin, which can not be used more than a few nights in a row. I have used a Netti Pot and not gotten any relief I can ascribe to the NP. However, repeated use of saline nasal spray helps - and I use a saline solution in the Netti Pot - so it should help, but the saline spray is much easier.

I just started using the Neti pot. But I have been really uncomfortable with this issue. But good luck.

I'm not a doctor, nor do I have medical education..it's my experience with mucus, in my sinus area mostly, throat is better now.. I take Mucinex DM, over the counter...it thins the mucus...one in the a.m. and one at nite...12hrs. apart. Also, get yourself a "NEIL MED" netipot..(miracle item for me) DOOOOOOOO NOT USE TAP WATER FOR NETI POT, NEVER!!!...that's a deadly mistake..even if your feel your tap water is safe, don't risk it.

Did I do this right? I made a homemade neti pot using a squirt bottle which I washed before using and let dry, then I boiled filtered water for over 10 minutes and poured it into the bottle and added some salt. That should make it completely safe and sterile right?

How long or how many times will you need to use a Neti Pot to feel a difference? I have been having awful sinus headaches and ringing (hissing) in my ears for about 10 days. This is after on and off sinus infections (or what I think are sinus infections) for months.

Im in the same boat my nose is stuffy and my throat is so dry. Ive been using saline nasal spray but the neti pot works best.

ve just noticed that the anxiety seems to follow the use of your NETI pot in the morning. If you are using the NETI pot correctly, you should not be getting any of the solution in your stomach. Or at the very least, just a drop or two which I can't think would make you "hot and anxious." I would suggest not using the NETI for a few days and see if that stops the problem. If it does, you need to discuss a possible adverse reaction with your doctor.

I use a humidifier at night when I sleep. I have been using a neti pot.

Hello Rahul, I'm not sure if you have sinus, allergy, or asthma. Nose sprays should have given you some relief from nasal blockage. I swear by one product 'NEILMED" neti pot. Go to the drugstore where they sell the Neilmed white neti pot which include solution for you to use. My family, grandkids use it all the time when nose is blocked. Not the squirt up nose type (tho u may try that too)...as I prefer the white tea pot type.

Have you tried using a neti pot or other sinus irrigation technique? I have had sinus problems since childhood and whenever I start to get the headaches, I use my neti pot. It has helped greatly.

Yesterday I used a home made version of a neti pot for the first time using warm tap water and salt, today I read that using tap watet with it is dangerous? What should I do? Will I be fine? This is driving me insane..

I have been plugged up since I found out I was pregnant. Its like a cold that lasts 40wks. Am looking forward to clearing up after the baby gets here. Haven't really tried anything, just been suffering through so don't have any helpful hints for you. Sorry.

t feeling great today with my sinuses and had just gotten my navage so I rinsed it out and let it air dry for maybe 30 minutes before growing impatient and just throwing a bottle of purified water in it and using it. Shortly after using it I got an insane anxiety attack about the fact that there was still residual tap water in the tank before I used it and I am very worried I got brain eating amoeba. Are my worries un founded?

I have been sick almost my whole pregnancy and the one thing I found helped was using a nasal spray or neti pot. If those still don't help I would say go to your doc as they may be able to Gove u something to help.

Get yourself a nettie pot.. Flush your nostril out with warm sea salt water.

I would suggest a nasal rinse ( like Neti pot ) instead of taking any medications during pregnancy, but as Jerry_NJ has stated, it's best to ask a doctor before taking any medications during pregnancy.

I have had severe congestion from the very beggining. I use a neti pot and use a steam inhaler. It seems to work pretty good. I have two humidifiers one in living room and one in bedroom. They help me not blow blood when I blow my nose. Some times it gets really bad and it feels like my sinuses are on fire. I'm always sneezing too. I do have alergies which I'm not looking forward to in the next few weeks and all summer long.

I had the same thing last week. It was HORRIBLE!!!! I didn't use anything though. I increased my fluids to loosen up my secretions which seemed to help. But I was also told to do the saline drops and take Benadryl but also did not want to take anything. Mine eventually ended up going down into my chest which was horrible because I don't think I ever coughed so much. I am finally getting over that but my nose is still running and stuffy.

Hi, Hi Desperate wife. You don't need to spend a $100 on a nasal cleansing machine. You can get the same thing by using the neti pot. Here's a New York Time's article on the Neti Pot: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/03/fashion/03skin.html?_r=1&adxnnl=1&oref=slogin&emc=eta1&adxnnlx=1204903709-QI78z01KvZ011nzC3OEwkg It costs about $15 bucks. The Neti pot has been used in Asia for years, and years.

1. Make a saline solution using warm water. You need to take care of the fact that the water should not be too cold or too hot. 2. Tilt your head a bit and pour the warm water into the upper nostril from the spout of the Neti pot. 3. You will feel the water running through the passage and then pouring out from the other nostril. 4. Keep the neti pot in the same angle so as to let the water flow into your nose due to gravity. 5.

i dont recomment any antibiotics or fungal agent more then 4 wks. the nasal spray along with the neti pot will finish the job. the neti pot is the only long term step to follow.

I've had severe allergies for 24 weeks! My whole pregnancy. I have been coughing and sneezing for this long! Now for a month now I have had ear aches, and sore throat. I take claritin once daily, delsum cough medicine, benadryl at night, for the pressure in my ear I plug my nose and mouth and blow air until I hear and feel a mild POP or use steam for nasal problems, I use saline non medicated nasal spray and gargle salt water, I'm gonna buy a humidifier to help too.

Well, I've been using the neti pot for almost a week now, and I can say that I notice a DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE in my sinus issues. And I haven't used a steroid nasal spray in a week as well. My sinuses run much less, my sneezing has dropped off dramatically, and my eyes are no longer stinging. The change was gradual, but I think I am a convert. And man, you can't beat that fresh clean feeling this thing gives your sinuses.

) so I am not worried about needing meds from the doc but would love to clear my sinuses in a better way than using the neti-pot. It works but is making me get sick after because of the pressure, etc.
