The water's never gotten stuck in the tubes after doing it...it feels really good after blowing (not too hard, tho).

You don't have many choices. That one's as old as the hills and done loooooong ago.


I've never heard of the ear drops you're talking about. It makes sense since mucous membranes absorb meds. Please check the side effects for the phenylephedrine (or is that what nasal decongestant sprays have in them?). Interesting....I'll check it out.

Hope you get some relief.
