  1. I have come to know about people gettign benefits from irrigation. I do nto know what it emans
    and which condition gets benefir from it. In another word, I do not know whether I will get
    benefit from it.

    Now,,I saw somene talking about "upside down sinus floodings" adn avoid sinus infections.

    My problem is getting throat infection because of the type of Rhinitis I have. I have to use
    Rhinocort and I do not want to to depend on it for the rest of my life. I haven't been using it
    unless I need it, when i feel i need it. Ican't always tell when i need it until it already got me
    into a bit of a mess. I got a flu recently and it turned into throat infection.

    My throat infection hppens because of insufficient air cleaning in my nasal passage caused by
    anatomical anomaly: extra holes in each side of middle bones in nasal passgae.

    I would like to find a solution/ a mehtod that I can use to prevent
    thorat infections and be able to function much better on daily basis.

    I'd like to understand whether I would benefit from irrigation, etc.

    Sorry to hear about your sinus and throat infection problems. I hope that you are able to solve your
    sinus and throat problems.

    I first started using 3% hydrogen peroxide in my sinuses about 2 1/2 years ago, to fight against
    sinus infection. I've been gargling with 3% hydrogen peroxide for a lot longer. It is a very
    powerful anti-infective.

    The problem is, how does one get the peroxide into the sinuses in order to kill the infection?
    Well...... I developed a method that I call the "upside down sinus flooding", which has kept my
    sinuses free from infection since I have been doing it.

    It doesn't work for everyone, but for those that it helps, it is extremely effective.

    If you'd like to learn more, there is a forum which contains detailed documentation about how to do
    it, and discussions by those who have done it, and are doing it right now.

    There's an OTC product called "SinuCleanse" that makes it brain-dead simple to do at-home sinus
    irrigation. See: sinucleanse.comsinucleanse.com
    . It's available at Walgreen's, and perhaps elsewhere.

  4. You're obviously having post nasal drips. This can irritate the throat. You should see an ENT to see
    if maybe you have a deviated septum. Another issue could be your nasal turbinates. They have a
    surgery to correct this and the worst part of it is the first 24 hours. Since they have packing in
    your nose. After that you get almost immediate results. Providing that's your problem. Using a
    solution might also help but I'm thinking that if you do have a deviated septum, why put yourself
    through that throughout your life? Talk to your doctor and see what he/she says.

    Eh? That would have *nothing* to do with post-nasal drip. Deviated septae (or other anatomical
    configurations which might *potentially* obstruct the osteomeatal complex) are *sometimes* partially
    responsible (notice all the caveats in there?) for *some* sinus infections; but they have absolutely
    *zip* to do with allergic rhinitis (which is usually the cause of recurrent post-nasal drip, aside
    from the common cold).

    I sure as hell wouldn't be in a mad dash for a surgical fix to this sort of problem. Geez. Try some
    Claritin (available OTC) first, for crying out loud. Failing that, go see your friendly primary care
    doc. Save the ENT for waaaaay down the road, if you fail conservative treatment.
