Did using the neti pot make my sinuses worse?

I used the neti pot for the first time today and it worked great the first time. However, after an hour, my nose started running again and got really stuffy so about 3 hours later, I attempted to use it again but this time the water didn’t drain out. I would tilt my head and I can feel the water go in but it’s not coming out of the other nose. What should I do?

Using a neti pot once is not going to clear out all the built up mucous and gunk in your sinuses. As the gunk loosens you will get a congested feeling. A neti pot is safe to use multiple times per day. I use mine up to 4x a day for the last 15 years or so.

The water didn’t drain properly because of the congestion, as long as its going in it will continue to break up the mucous to a degree.

Make sure you read the directions that came with it to get the saline solution right, any burning or discomfort means the pH is not the same as the tissues in your sinuses and will irritate it.

Keep trying, it will get better!

Laura: Please check into the use of colloidal silver..from Mayo clinics website:

Colloidal silver is not considered either safe or effective in any of the health claims manufacturers make. No studies to evaluate colloidal silver have been published in reputable medical journals. Thus, all the claims for health benefits are based on manufacturers’ opinions and anecdotes.

The Food and Drug Administration does not consider colloidal silver safe or effective to treat any disease or condition. Taking colloidal silver could have serious side effects, such as:

* Argyria — an irreversible blue-gray discoloration of your skin, nails and gums
* Seizures and other neurological problems
* Kidney damage
* Indigestion
* Headaches
* Fatigue
* Skin irritation
* Drug interactions with penicillamine, quinolones, tetracycline and thyroxine medications
