Another Neti Q

I can feel it trying to go through, but it's not. I'm guessing I am just too closed up right now. Should I try again later, or just wait until tomorrow? The directions said no more than 2x a day, and I tried it 2x in a row.

Ugh,  I still can't breathe.

I would try it again later.  I think the directions are indicating if it "work" or goes through then no more than 2xs a day.  Although, I have done it 3 times in one day too...

Like I said earlier, it took me 4 tries before it went through the other day. Let it try and go through, make sure you are leaning and tilting far enough, then stop pouring and blow your nose into the sink. Then blow into a tissue. Repeat on other side. Repeat steps until it gets through. I don't think the directions apply if it hasn't gone through your passages.

Even if it's not going through, the solution is working to loosen everything up.

I did get it to drip through at one point, but only on one side. When I switched sides, there was nothing again.

Each side is seperate, so you might get through on one and not the other. Keep going. It will be worth it

Please be careful doing this when you're super congested.  I ended up with a double ear infection and a sinus infection last year because using the neti pot backed it up in my ear canal.  Just a word of warning.  I could easily be a freak though.

Ick! I already have an upper respiratory infection and sinus infection and am on anti-biotic for it...I think I'll just try again tomorrow. Thanks everyone!
