And this prevents you from so aggressively blowing your nose that you force the infection farther back into your sinuses, complicating or causing a sinus infection. So weird, but it makes me feel so much better during the day and night. It's been helping with my pregnancy related nasal congestion too.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16775213297489397676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342888472094270248.post-77752276897081021382011-01-21T12:03:12.114-08:002011-01-21T12:03:12.114-08:00Wow, grossness aside, I really appreciate this pos...Wow, grossness aside, I really appreciate this post!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196643750381549159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342888472094270248.post-73952024666079005962011-01-20T12:15:28.896-08:002011-01-20T12:15:28.896-08:00Marian, I'm sure they sell them at the Safeway...Marian, I'm sure they sell them at the Safeway pharmacy, and if not there, then RiteAide would surely carry them. <br /><br />One thing we use on Levi is an aerosol saline spray. We spray it up his nose a few hours before bed (never right before though, it wouldn't have enough time to exit) and although he doesn't know how to "blow" per-se, the additional fluid in his sinuses encourages the mucus OUT! If he doesn't start dripping within a few minutes, I tackle him (literally) and sucker the saline+snot out with the bulb syringe the hospital sent us home with.Melissa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09075606544086273338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342888472094270248.post-262628168186974552011-01-19T22:44:04.733-08:002011-01-19T22:44:04.733-08:00I just love Neilmed products. they have products f...I just love Neilmed products. they have products for infants too. check with your pharmacy.

He recently got me to try it and I was hooked- SO easy and awesome!
