sinus mystery

just a note...

i ended up buying claritin and a sinus spray at CVS, based on my assumption that the longer sinuses stay congested, the more opportunity for infection to develop. just couldn't get them to clear with acupressure, ginger tea, homeopathic remedy, neti pot, rest, etc.

yesterday i took one claritin and 3 sprays per nostril yesterday, which cleared me up.

after this latest cold front blew in during the wee hours of this day, solstice, i awoke with sneezing, coughing, nasal inflammation. took claritin and sinus spray again, which took care of symptoms.

it's not that i don't believe the alternative treatments work. it's that sometimes stronger intervention is needed. these cold fronts alternating with 75 degree days are hard on the body.
