Guest guest Posted January 11, 2008 Report Share Posted January 11, 2008 I've been using a neti pot with sea salt and baking soda rinse for a short while now. Yesterday, as I tried to pour on the right side, nothing came out the left. After a few seconds, I decided to do the left nostril instead and it flowed out the right. I tried again on the right side, and eventually a slight stream of rinse came out the left. I blew my nose, bent over at the waist, and thought all the water was out. When I went to bed, I had a dull pressure feeling in my right ear. Today I had a dull headache and slight pressure feeling behind my right eye. I bent over at work and turned my head up to look at something. When I stood up, a good amount of water shot out of my nose onto the floor. Luckily nobody was around and nothing was ruined. All day I've had the taste of saline in the back of my throat. I'd like some advice about this. I don't feel great about using the neti again right now. If I can't use it safely, I'll just have to put it in my cupboard as an extra coffee creamer Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'll be interested in any comments on this, too. My right ear has been messed up for years, sometimes accumulating a lot of fluid. After using the neti pot, sometimes if I turn my upside-down head just wrong in trying to let all the saline run out, some of it will run into the right ear canal and cause sharp pain. I kinda wonder if it might not be a good thing to get a little saline in there?? Ear candles help, but they are hard to find.

Guest guest Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 When you take bath,put cotton in to your ear. water in the ear canal breeds bacterias'and hence the sharp pain comes. remove gently with cotton buds the fluid. Give reiki to the area and your pain will go. This is my own personal experience. bala - jmr1290 <jomarex Sunday, January 13, 2008 8:30 am Re: Neti pot problem > I'll be interested in any comments on this, too.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 If you have water in your ear, a good solution is to put some drops of alcohol in it. Within 1 minute, the alcohol will evaporate the water. It works! I used to do this after swimming. , pbala wrote: > > When you take bath,put cotton in to your ear. > water in the ear canal breeds bacterias'and > hence the sharp pain comes. > remove gently with cotton buds the fluid. > Give reiki to the area and your pain will go. > This is my own personal experience. > bala > - > jmr1290 <jomarex > Sunday, January 13, 2008 8:30 am > Re: Neti pot problem > > > > I'll be interested in any comments on this, too.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Sounds like you have an ear wax build up, probably from unknown dairy allergies. You could warm some Hydrogen Peroxide and put a capful in your ear and then allow to bubble for a few minutes and empty. You can do this a few times. I would then start considering my diet and doing some self-testing on yourself for dairy allergies. There is a pediatric allergist whom I swear by. Read her book; IS THIS YOUR CHILD by Dr. Doris Rapp and you will be surprised at what you learn. It's also good for adults so don't let the title fool you. She also has a newer book out that would be worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
