Neti Pot

[lexin]

Does anyone have any helpful advice about using a neti pot?

I have a post-nasal drip that just will not quit. A neti pot is my last attempt to cure it myself before throwing myself on the mercy of my doctor. I've already tried allergy medication.

I don't use mine as often as I should, but I do like it very much. Two times when it's particularly useful are at the end of a cold/sinus infection, when they can clear things out and make you feel better sooner, and after you've had contact with something you're allergic to.

It took me a bit of trial and error to figure out the right angle and the right water temperature; in between, I soaked a couple of shirts when I couldn't manage not to dribble on myself.
