Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Rules For the rest of the Site also accessible on the sidebar.

Any advice for beating a sinus infection? Already did one round of antibiotics but it’s only better and not gone and coming back. I had it really bad due to a cold that seemed to cause it. I’ve been prone to sinus infections in the past. Sinus pain is the main symptom now and some drainage. I had nasty lime green mucus before and lots of drainage but neither of those are back. I also had mucus coming out of the eyes but thankfully that is gone.
I’m doing steam in my face with oregano oil several times a day with a towel over my head. 6 drops of oregano oil twice a day by mouth. Thinking I need to cut sugar out of my diet until I’m over this
Colloidal silver is what I use for my sinus issues. Taken internally and also use as a nose spray. I make my own to save cost. And yes get rid of the sugar. Switch to naturals as they do less harm. Seed oils are another culprit that needs to be eliminated asap but if you cook at home this one is easy.
I regularly use a NeilMed sinus rinse, anytime I'm around groups of people, or outside working, or get into odors that bother me. It helps flush out any junk. Started out using a Neti pot, but it wasn't strong enough to flush stuff. If you use the NeilMed, be sure to face straight down into the sink, look straight towards the floor. Some people like to watch in the mirror, but that angle won't let the liquid flow through properly.
Thanks, I am using that saline too and I felt like I did need to look down but can’t see either.
