Actually, it works. It is a standard recommendation (in drop form) to relieve congestion in small children. Liquifies the secretions without harm to the delicate mucus membranes of the nose.

The thing that works best for me when I have sinusitis is to get in a warm
shower with a cup of warm water + 1/4 teaspoon salt...snuff up the
mixture...do it as soon as symptoms start for several days. Usually that
keeps me from getting infected and helps to clear out my head so I can get
to sleep.

Thanks Melody,
As you've probably noted from other messages, it's sinusitis which has
traveled down for some chest congestion. But it's all pretty minor.
Thing
is I get this sort of thing once or twice each winter and handle it otc.
It

just happened that I was at the dr's for my arm and I mentioned it.

I've
nearly never gone to the dr for sinusitis b4. I do recall one time, but
again, I was there for something else as well, but back then he never
went

into all this medication for it.  Thanks for your concern.
Kitty

Kitty: It would seem to me that the answer to that question would

depend
on what your doctor thinks is wrong with you...I would sincerely hope
that he/she took the time to explain this to you along with an
explanation of what each prescription was for. And pray tell me you
don't just have a virus and got antibiotics prescribed?????? Maybe a
follow-up phone call to your provider would be in order if you really
do
have questions about these things...you must act as your own advocate
in
situations like this and be prepared to ask questions until you get an
answer you can fully understand. Best of luck to you!

Another OT - I'm full of them lately!<br><br>I mentioned last month a
recurrence of my tennis elbow. Well, it's been<br>6 wks now and still
really bothering me so I made an appointment with my<br>doctor. Just
prior to my appointment I came down with a cold, and<br>coughing makes
my arm ache worse. I mentioned this to my dr today,<br>saying that as
long as I'm here for my arm, if you have anything better<br>than otc
for

my cold, I'd be interested. Well, I came out of there with<br>SEVEN
prescriptions for my cold, one of which was for a chest x-ray -

oh<br>-
and a referral for my arm.<br><br><br>Does this seem like overkill?
That's a lot of medication for a cough. I<br>dropped the stack scrips
on
the floor at the reception desk and two<br>other patients gasped - I'm
sure they thought I must be on death's door.<br>Is this normal? I
don't

go to doctors
