Dinah, when I was plugged up with sinus and felt like my head was going to burst, I put a towel over my head and ran hot water in the sink and breathed in steam until Whamo! the dam burst and I was unplugged. I shared this with the ENT last month when I was a little sinusy, and he told me about something OTC that one squirts up one's nose. For some reason this struck me as hilariously funny and I could hardly stop laughing to talk, which did not endear me to this senior, very talented surgeon who did such incredible work in my mouth. I will behave better on Wednesday when I next see him.
