I'm new to the group and don't know if anyone has done this, but after years
of sinus problems and very strange infections, I've discovered (out of
desperation) that a Q-tip of Tanac up the nose (and sometimes in my ears)
can work wonders.

This works when my sinuses get dry, my skin crawls, I get sinus headaches
and dizziness and am just sick with an infection.  At this time, antibiotics
are the only thing that can resolve this problem, but it usually takes a
couple of weeks to see the doctor.  After applying Tanac, the sinuses become
moist (oddly runny for a day or two) and the problem goes away without the
doctor's visit.

I would like to know what the possible problems of using this self-remedy
and I will listen to any advice.  I will, however, say that I've suffered
with sinus problems all of my life, have seen more doctors and specialists
than most people, have had 12 thousand dollars worth of sinus surgery, taken
all the pills (more than I ever should), and have found relief from the most
simple remedy.

While this small thing hasn't solved all my problems, it solved my worst.
That's enough for now.

What are your thoughts?
