I have used this thing and loved it, it feels great when you are through,
however, I turned up with a NASTY nasopharyngitis while using it, and was on
Levaquin for 17 days......I feel good now, maybe I had this infection for a
really long time or something, BUT my ENT says that there is disagreement
among ENTs about nasal lavage-some feel like it just washes infection around.
I have not done it since I got off the antibiotics and feel better than I
have in a long time. I am curious as to what you medical-types think about
doing this-can it actually do more harm than good? BTW, I kept the thing
meticulously clean and only used the prepackaged sinucleanse solution.
I would love to think that just using the neti pot could prevent sinus
infections, but I am not so sure............
