Sinus Inspection
I was sitting in the car this morning thinking I should write a blog entry about my current sinus infection. Now I carpool, and the guy I ride in with doesn't think that there is any truth to color of snot. I thought that yellow snot was a sign of sinus infection and green was allergies. Normally my snot is clear or cloudy, but over the weekend I got a lot of pressure in my sinuses and the results of a nose blow were thick and yellow. If anyone out there has some knowledge or insight on how to quickly get over a sinus infection (or whatever it is I have), please reply. Knowing about three people read this blog because it's unpdated so infrequently I guess I'll have to visit some health sites and see what I can find. But I was really hoping someone else would do that. It's kind of like getting good mail or an email from a friend. Thanks in advance.

shiv-nuts,
i too am suffering from sinus infection. i don't know about colors of snot, but my doc did ask if it was diff. colored or unusual. so there's something about the color of snot. BTW, my snot's same yellow-ish color it always is/was. did yr doc prescribe antibiotics? also, someone just turned me onto the sinus rinse thing where you literally pour/dump solution into your nose and it runs out yr other nostril... tried it yet? they said it worked, but i'm skeptical. kit costs $15!
I have heard of great success with the sinus rinse kit, but never have had the courage to try it. A doctor told a friend of mine to try it for her sinus problems and it worked for her. Sounds kinda groos to me.
