Maybe ragweed is what gets me. Mine are always the worst in the fall. And they are really bad right now.

Mine are worst in the fall too. The ragweed and the dust from driving the bus down gravel roads just messes me up terrible. Just got over it as a matter of fact, but it will happen again before it freezes.

I take antibiotics. My doctor and I found one that worked. Of course, I forgot the name.

You know the rule - if it's green, you need medicine. (Yucky, but true).

That is gross. So far I don't have much coming out & I think that's the problem. It's all stuffed up in there & won't come out. What does come out is still pretty clear.

It took me a while to get used to using one, but it has made a huge difference for me. I used to have a lot of sinus problems, when the heat is turned on, my sinuses become painfully dry - I don't have any problems with that anymore.

I bought some zyrtec-d last night. It seems to be helping me. Drixorol used to be the magic cure, but they took it off the market.
I can't believe you're doctor adviced you to give a child clariton-d it has a lot of pseudoephrine in it. I can't take it it makes me all jittery. Did she maybe mean the regular clariton which is just 10mg of loratidine?

Also I can't use a nettie pot....for 1 I saw it on t.v. & it was so gross. 2. I had my nose broke really bad when i was little & it was very crooked, I had it reshaped when I was in highschool, but I still find it hard to believe that that water would flow so easily through my nose. I've broken my nose 7 times. Which could be the reason for most of my problems.
