Re: Is this bad - Afrin
Afrin is brutal on the sinuses...
Look up a Neti Pot - sinus sufferers swear by them. I use it with a sea salt saline solution - plenty of recipes on the net - usually 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, cup of water, pinch of baking soda - if the baking soda irritates, eliminate it. Use either the Neti or a turkey baster looking thing to rinse through the sinuses. Sounds gross, but it does work and work well....
Ceftin is the preferred med for sinus infections - 10 day course minimum. Ceftin is much easier on the stomach than other similar meds. Z-Packs are usually not long enough nor strong enough - personal opinion
She has my TOTAL sympathy and I hope she feels better soon.
