Kathe,

I thought about that but the mucous I have is very loose...there is

just a ton of it. I know when you take that you have to drink plenty

of water and at this point if I drink anymore water I will have to

live in the bathroom!

When I use to have serious sinus problems I was on prescription

strength Entex which is the same ingredient in Musinex. It works

really well.

I am going to think about this and if I get out tomorrow I shall pick

some up.

Toni,

My husband has problems with allergies that sometimes cause a great

deal of mucus.

He has found that regular saline nose spray has stopped the sore

throat from post

nasal drip. It also helps clear out his nasal passages. During the

dry season, it

helps with nosebleeds associated with dry nasal passages. For years

he used

various sprays containing decongestants and other chemicals. To find

out that

just plain cheap saline solution could have so many benefits was

great for him.

He hasn't had a sinus infection since using it.

a,

I have been using homemade saline and nasal washes for years. I use

to suffer from horrible sinus problems ans since starting with them I

have had maybe one or two sinus infections. Currently I do not have

a sinus infection...thank god for that.

Now I wish I could saline wash my lungs and get this crap out of

here...but the key is getting my immune system to turn off!! So far

nothing has happened. I will give it to the end of the week and if I

am not feeling better, back to the PCP I will go for another steriod

injection and I will beg for some nebulized steriods. This inhaler

is working but not well enough for me. I think I am being a bit

impatient too. But then again most people would be when you are

having problems breathing and trying to cough out a lung!
