Do any of you suffer allergies and have these symptoms? The sore throat is the worst and lasts a couple of days. It is like blisters in my throat and very painful to swallow...also a low grade fever. Very aggravating actually...especially this time of the year! |
Before you think I'm just a whackjob, I am a yoga instructor. I also have allergies and daily I use a Neti Pot. Been using it now for two years, if I forget one morning, I feel the difference during the day. It is a genie lamp looking thing with a long narrow spout. You will with warm water and a special non-idozied salt, pour in one nostril and let run out the other. Then repeat for the other nostril. I know it sounds totally disgusting but takes all of 2 minutes and will really keep the sinus passages clean. Takes care of everything from allergies, helps relieve stuffiness during colds, and signifantly reduces post nasal drip. Do a goggle search on Neti Pot for more information.
