During the day I use my Navage (a mechanical Netty pot) and that usually helps. But when my stuffy nose wakes me during the night I resist getting out of bed to sleepily assemble and use it.
I put my canula in my mouth if I need to while clearing my nose.
I use a Netty Pot as well when my sinus's are affected and it helps so much. I really feel like I can breathe again. I used one immediately after being discharged from the hospital after 6 days in December and I knew I was going to be okay. That one thing had such a huge affect compared to all the nebulizer treatments they gave me.
I use Neil Med Sinus Rinse, 2x day. Helps. Also Xlear nasal, a natural spray
