Netti pots don't work on ears now do they? Really bad advice.
If you travel a lot, throwing a decongestant in your bag isn't a bad idea. Better to have and not need.
It's a fine line in using something to clear up congestion. They can overdry your mucous membranes so you need to typically use less than the desired dose. It's idea if you play around with them before the flight. Essentially you want as little as possible to ease the congesion.
The reason why I'm on so Mucinex is because of a constant, dry, unproductive cough caused by a thick mucous that's not going anywhere.
But thanks for the medical advice.
Next time I have a bacterial sinus infection that ends up in me developing post nasal drip I'll tell my ENT to go have his head examined for prescribing antibiotics.
