Congested

Oh I know just the thing - my sinuses blocked just before I was due to be induced. I bought a nasal rinse kit. You get it from the chemist. Basically you mix the sachet into water and squirt it up your nose and it comes outt he other nostril with allt he crap.

it sounds gross and I suppose it is a bit, but it doesn't hurt at all, is totally safe and worked better than any other medication I have used for sinus in my life - it is now the only thing I will use.

you can use it everyday if you need to as well.

Meow, can I ask what was wrong with the Otrivin? It's just that I suffer from allergies and my midwife recommended that. I haven't needed to use it so far but I'm curious as to what put you off it.

As I said, don't research things on the net.. lol I know all drugs have side effects but I don't like reading them. Amber, it did say that the use of the drug in pregnant woman hadn't been researched though.. as in the effects on an unborn baby were unknown..I am probably a little paranoid about medicine though, prefer to take nothing if possible. Or natural remedies.

Thanks Meow, I'm a bit over cautious with everything too. I think it's better to play it on the safe side. Not keen on the dishes solution though, maybe I could stand next to DP while he does them

I hope you find something that helps Kat. I have used the nasal rinse as well and it works wonders.

Have a safe trip too!
