I am wondering if a company sells filters to be placed in the nose to
prevent breathing in allergens???I have had a lot of sinus problems and
had laser sinus surgery. When my nose was packed I felt the best I had
in years. When the nose packing was removed and sinus openings were
enlarged during surgery, I have found that my "allergies" are a lot worse! Is
there something safe to pack my nose with? I have tried nasal irrigation
for 2 years and it doesn't help me. The steroid nasal sprays irritate my
nose. (I have tried many) I did read an article on nose filters coming
out soon-does anyone know about this?

Nose filters only protect against allergens breathed in. You might also
react to allergens and pollutants that just touch your skin.

What do you think about the "upside down" irrigation with peroxide, baking
soda and salt, where the mixture seeps deep within the sinuses, in hopes
that it reaches what is irritating the sinuses? Too extreme a treatment?

I had a dream that you could but tiny hepa filter nose inserts. Hey can
we patent that? It has to be better than wearing a mask all day. But I
think the small size would not allow enough air in. Oh well just a idea.
Maybe someday :)
