| papaya enzyme | 27 Nov 2005 19:06 GMT | 2 |
Does anyone know how often you can use papaya enzyme? I've been trying it and it really seems to help thin the mucus, but I have to use it about every 4 hours. I am putting it between my cheek and gum. Is that too often? It isn't the Clear ease. Would it work better?

Does anyone have any rules of thumb as to what point to resort to antibiotic treatment? We had a cold front move in the area yesterday (35-40 degree swing) and I'm guessing the change in barometric pressure is wreaking havoc on my sinuses. Frontals are closed/semi-closed and a

I have had swollen turbinates for many years, permanently blocking a nostril (which changes from side to side due to nasal cycles). I have been to many ENTs over the years, who have prescribed cortisones that had absolutely no effect. I also went for allergy testing, the results
