Have you tried a saline nasal spray? It's not quite as drastic, but it's the same idea. The salt water kills a lot of the germs in the parts of the nasal passages that get most exposure to germs. It also helps break down the mucus that gathers there when you are sick, and it keeps the nasal passages from getting dehydrated and irritable.
I've had several doctors tell me to use it. Not that I've ever managed to remember to do it every day. Or even really at all.
No, I haven’t. Maybe I should get some of that to have at work with me. The neti pot seemed effective, BTW.
(If you’re ever mad at me for some reason, you should focus on a mental image of me leaning over the bathroom sink with water streaming out of my nose. :-)
